Vice mayoralty candidate Renecito Novero of the “Magnificent Seven” said yesterday that he is batting for good governance and eradication of corrupt practices in implementing government-funded projects in his address to the crowd at their campaign sortie in Purok Sawmill, Brgy. Bata, Bacolod City, last night.
Novero, who has served as vice mayor of Bacolod from 2004 to 2007, said that among his main concern, is reform in terms of and the continuity of the delivery of basic services, like health, shelter and education. If elected, he said he will launch “project BuSS” or the Butika sa Sanggunian aimed at providing free medicines for the indigents and senior citizens. Novero added that he is mulling development projects for the youth so they will not engage in vices, and will bat for the protection of the ecology, stability, peace and order, and resolution of the worsening traffic situation in the city. Under this project, Novero and the City councilors said they will allot monthly a certain amount from their fund from the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation and deposit it in a pharmacy, where indigents and senior citizens can get medicines for free after securing a recommendation note from them. Novero also asked his political foes to follow the rules and guidelines of the Commission on Elections, especially on oversized campaign posters. If they are defiant with simple rules, it only means that they cannot also become good leaders, he said. Novero urged the people to choose “magnificently” and “wisely” because the city's fate relies on their votes. Its teammates who include incumbent Councilors El Cid Familiaran, Archie Baribar, Sonya Verdeflor and Elmer Sy, and businessmen Hermilo Lizares and Robert Francis Coscolluela, who are all running for councilors, were present at the sortie in Brgy.
