In a surprise move in last Wednesday’s session, the "new majority" introduced a resolution that replaces Councilor Cesar Distrito and installed Councilor Archie Baribar as the new floor leader of the Sangguniang Panlungsod (SP).
The resolution, which likewise extended its appreciation to Distrito, who served as floor leader from July 2013 to February 5, 2014 was proposed by Councilors Archie S. Baribar, El Cid M. Familiaran, Jocelle Batapa-Sigue, Claudio Jesus Raymundo A. Puentevella, Ana Marie V. Palermo, Sonya M. Verdeflor, Wilson C. Gamboa Jr. and Noly Villarosa. "This is all politics. We are governed by the rule of majority and the position of floor leader will always be dependent on the Sangguniang Panlungsod," said Distrito, who at the same time, was surprised upon knowing that there was a resolution of thanks and added jokingly that "Una pa ang condolence antes sya mapatay" (Condolence was extended even before he was dead). He thanked the previous majority and his colleagues in the SP for giving him the mandate to serve as floor leader for the last seven months. His Committee On Laws, Ordinances And Good Government was also discharged of the correspondence regarding the amended consolidated internal rules of the Sangguniang Panlungsod which was referred to the SP as a whole, by a vote of 8–2 with Councilor Em Ang and Councilor Alex Paglumotan abstaining.* Submitted by webmaster Negros Daily Bulletin
