FORMER Bacolod City Vice Mayor Renecito Novero is hopeful to have the support of the "First Five" councilors in his bid to run for vice mayor in the 2013 elections.
The "First Five" is composed of incumbent Councilors El Cid Familiaran, Catalino Alisbo, Elmer Sy, Sonya Vedeflor and Archie Baribar. Novero said they have maintained good relations and he knew their sentiments against the possible selection of businessman Vladimir Gonzalez as running mate of mayoralty aspirant Monico Puentevella. Although there is no confirmation yet from the camp of Puentevella, Novero said the First Five earlier expressed their opposition to the tandem. Novero added that Gonzalez should not mix his business with politics, but focus on his business instead because that would be favorable to his family. Novero also said he also reached out to the group of Councilor Al Victor Espino, despite the fact that Espino did not like his political plan. Novero is also offering his services to Bacolodnons as he aspires to run for vice mayor. His experience in legal matters, legislation and his being a servant leader in his church pose an edge over the other contenders, he said. Novero has served as councilor for ten years and served as vice mayor from 2007 to 2010. He was instrumental in the computerization of the records of the City Council, the crafting of the ordinance that covers the establishment and existence of the Bacolod City College, the composition of the Bacolod City song and the reforms made and adopted by the Vice Mayor's League of the Philippines-Negros Occidental Chapter when he served as their Chapter President.
