Bacolod Mayor Monico Puentevella said yesterday he will respect whatever decision the Sangguniang Panlungsod will make on the reorganization of the major committee chairmanship today.
“Whatever their decision is, I will respect it,” he said. Puentevella also stressed that he does not meddle with the business of the Sanggunian, adding that it is on their discretion because it’s a separation of jurisdiction. Councilor El Cid Familiaran said Vice Mayor Greg Gasataya had called for a luncheon meeting today wherein the reorganization will be finally formalized. Familiaran added the reorganization of the different committee chairmanships will be appointed automatically, and not through votation. He hinted that police matters will remain on his committee, as well as health and urban poor. The committee on education, which he originally chaired, will be given to the majority bloc, he said. “It doesn’t matter what committee you are chairing. The moment you become author of an ordinance, you can have the jurisdiction already,” Familiaran added./WDJ By Nicole Villavecer Watchmen Daily Journal
