BACOLOD City – The Sangguniang Panlungsod (SP) here did not approve the resignation of Councilor El Cid Familiaran from the People’s Law Enforcement Board (PLEB). Familiaran wrote the city council on Aug. 7 saying he is resigning not only as the chairperson but also as member of PLEB. The councilor believes he is “overworked.” Aside from his job at PLEB, Familiaran also heads the SP committee on urban poor, housing and resettlement, and committee on police, security and jail management. “Pressing issues” in his committees need more attention, he said. The SP declined his resignation, but Familiaran said he cannot promise to perform his functions well at PLEB. PLEB has resolved more than 15 cases since Familiaran was appointed its chairperson. By virtue of Republic Acts 6975 and 8551, PLEB was formed as the central receiving entity of complaints filed against officers and members of the Philippine National Police in every local government unit. Here the PLEB is composed of five members, including Familiaran./PN By MAE SINGUAY
