BACOLOD City Mayor Evelio Leonardia said that he and former city councilor Greg Gasataya have discussed and understood each other fully well regarding his choice of Dr. Rogelio Balo to serve as city administrator.
He said he never promised this position to Gasataya, contrary to what was circulating about the alleged appointment of Gasataya as the next city administrator. "Greg and I had a man-to-man talk regarding this matter. The issue was just over blown but I still believe that this matter can still be resolved," Leonardia said. Gasataya finished his three terms as city councilor from 2001 to 2010. During the 2010 election period, his name came out as the alleged choice of the mayor to be the next city administrator. This has gained the support of the "Voltes 5" councilors who continuously pushed for Gasataya to be the next city administrator. Balo's appointment, which was endorsed by the city mayor, did not yet get the concurrence of the Bacolod City Council, which has until August 4 to act on the concurrence of Balo's re-appointment as city administrator. Balo has 25 years of top management and administrative work experience here and abroad. He has already won the support of the Monico-Novero-Palermo councilors, namely: lawyer Archie Baribar, Elmer Sy, Catalino Alisbo, Sonya Verdeflor and El Cid Familiaran. (Carla N.Cañet)
