THE Magnificent Seven candidates in Bacolod City batted for the renaissance or rebirth of Bacolod City in terms of quality and efficient public service.
Lawyer Renecito Novero, candidate for Vice Mayor, reelectionist councilors Sonya Verdeflor, El Cid Familiaran, Archie Baribar and Elmer Sy and neophyte candidates for Councilor Hermilo “Rocky” LIzares and Robert Francis “Bobby” Coscolluela who compose the Magnificent Seven have the same vision for Bacolod. They will be guided by the seven important virtues of good governance such as integrity, sincerity, transparency, honesty, simplicity, accountability and trust. They have a crusade for the birth of a new governance they call the “Bacolod renaissance.” Novero said they want people to see competence, efficiency and integrity in the delivery of public service. Lizares, a former barangay captain, said he decided to run because the President lighted a fire to stop corruption in the country and he wants to be a part of the crusade. Coscolluela, who ran for councilor in 2010, said he wants to give the best possible genuine service to the people. Familiaran, the number one councilor, said he is running for reelection on the basis of his performance. He said that out of the 118 sessions held, he has recorded perfect attendance, had authored 24 quality ordinances—most of them pro-poor—and also authored over 100 resolutions. Verdeflor said she wants to continue her advocacies, especially for the women and children, while Baribar said his track record will speak for itself. Sy, being a man of few words, said “less talk, more action,” when asked why he is seeking reelection. They filed their candidacy papers Friday at the Commission on Elections (Comelec) Office in Bacolod City accompanied by their family, friends and supporters. By Carla N. Canet SUNSTAR BACOLOD
