SK polls manipulation denied
BY CHRYSEE SAMILLANO

Bacolod Councilor Dindo Ramos, whose son was recently elected Sangguniang Kabataan Federation president, dismissed allegations that the SK election was manipulated by the administration candidates.

His son, newly elected SK Federation president, Kevin Ramos, 15, of Brgy. Granada earned 34 votes over Kay Marie Yap, 16, of Brgy. 32 who got 18 votes and Jason Olivar, 18, of Brgy. Pahanocoy who got nine votes.

Councilor Ramos said it is unfair to say that Kevin and his group or even the Mayor manipulated the elections in an interview over Aksyon Radyo. He said the Mayor did not campaign for anyone.
