Yesterday was the final session of the Bacolod City councilors for this term which officially ends June 30.
Reelectionists who did not make were absent from the session. They were councilors Wilson "Jun" Gamboa, Jocelle Batapa-Sigue, and Celia Flor. However, the graduating councilors present at the session appeared emotional as they delivered their privilege speeches. Councilor Homer Bais sponsored a resolution expressing gratitude to out-going councilors: Alex Paglumotan, Dr. Napoleon Cor-dova, Dr. Reynold Iledan, including those who were absent - Councilors Flor, Gamboa and Batapa-Sigue. Vice Mayor Thaddy Say-son gave them plaques of appreciation to express gratitude, utmost respect and recognition, having rendered unselfish dedication and commitment, outstanding and exemplary performance and dispensation of tasks, duties and responsibilities in the name of public service. Vice Mayor Sayson said he has mixed feelings. Sad because the body will lose dedicated legislators. And happy because they will be facing new challenges for another page of legislation. Supposedly, the new set of councilors will meet on Wednesday, June 30, but it was declared a holiday, so their session will be set on Friday, July 2. They new set of councilors are El Cid Familiaran, Em Ang, Elmer Sy, Archie Baribar, Sonia Verdeflor, Carl Lopez, Dindo Ramos, Bobby Rojas, Homer Bais, Al Espino, Catalino Alisbo, Diosdado Valenzuela, and Keven Ramos. At the meeting on Friday, Sayson said, the new councilors will take up committee assignments. There are 29 committees to be handled by the councilors. Each of them for sure will chair at least two committees, Sayson disclosed.*
