BACOLOD City Councilor and Grupo Progreso vice mayoral candidate El Cid Familiaran has responded to the issues on the renewal of his lease contract on Manokan Country Stall 23, and the construction of the drainage project near his residence at Puentebella Subdivision, Barangay Taculing. Familiaran said his rival’s camp has spread information that he and his runningmate for mayor, Representative Evelio Leonardia, faced a case before the Office of the Ombudsman for allegedly conniving in his acquisition of the Manokan Country stall. However, according to their lawyer Cesar Beloria, the tandem has not received an official document that would prove the filing of the complaint. Familiaran clarified that the process of obtaining the stall started in March 22, 2006, when he was not yet councilor of Bacolod. He added that he has nothing to divest in this business because he has never been involved in food catering services to the city. On the construction of the drainage system, Familiaran said there are 12 flood-prone puroks in Barangay Taculing, and Purok Kawilihan, where he resides, is included. “Our area suffers from flood (as well as) 11 other puroks. The said project of the barangay is funded under Annual Investment Plan, which is being approved by the City Development Council,” he added.
