There were 9 listed probables for vice mayor slot under the banner of the Nationalist Peoples’ Coalition (NPC) submitted to the NPC national leadership for evaluation, according to Vice Mayor Jude Thaddeus Sayson, at the presscon yesterday. The list he said includes names of three graduating councilors from NPC, some probables and some former candidates of the party. They are all members of the NPC.
Mayor Evelio Leonardia, Vice Mayor Thaddy Sayson (2nd and 3rd from L) during yesterday’s presscon with the City Hall press corps at the Bacolod City Government Center with other city officials OIC-PIO Rodel Parcon (L) and City Veterinarian Dr. Rex Juplo (R) look on. Dr. Juplo expounds on the celebration of Rabies Day on the 28th.* It was decided by the party that the NPC national officials be the ones to endorse the official candidate for vice mayor, and they promised us either today or tomorrow. We heard that they will meet on the matter yesterday (Monday). They might officially receive the endorsement today (Tuesday), because they told us not later than Tuesday. Sayson said they do not have a complete slate yet but they have a complete list of probable candidates. There are some incumbents who signified that they are willing to join the slate of Grupo Progreso, so we are giving them until Friday. That is the most that we could adjust since the filing of the COC is already next week. I signified to them that if ever they have to make a decision, they have to make it before Friday because we also have to fill up our slate before the COC filing next week, Sayson emphasized. Mayor Evelio Leonardia said they have been talking with the four councilors, Archie Baribar, El Cid Familiaran, Elmer Sy and Sonya Verdeflor. The most recent of which was with the vice mayor but we have not updated each other about it. But I have made public announcements that we have to seriously consider and I think we have to finalize our slate these days. He said those in our line-up should be endorsing or supporting our candidates for congressman, mayor and vice mayor. Sayson said they will be filing their COC before October 5. Neg. Occ., 3rd District Rep. Alfredo Abelardo "Albee" Benitez, who is Liberal Party provincial chairman, said Bacolod is a free zone as of now. Submitted by Edith Colmo NEGROS DAILY BULLETIN
