Candoni Mayor Cicero Borromeo yesterday said he will keep up the fight against corruption to ensure justice for his town amid alleged plans by the allies of his political opponents to ease him out of office through recall proceedings.

But Borromeo said he believes God put him in his post as mayor of Candoni and he does not believe any move to recall him will succeed because he is an honest person.

He said he heard of the moves to have him recalled through the grapevine and he is taking it in stride.

BY CHRYSEE SAMILLANO

The Bacolod City government resumed its dredging operations in Barangay Banago, Bacolod City , at about 3 p.m. yesterday, Bacolod Councilor Roberto Rojas said.

Rojas said the dredging will concentrate first on the Kimara Association so that the area could be ready for the relocation of displaced residents of Purok Mahimulaton in Banago. He said there are about 14 families from Purok Mahimulaton who have decided to transfer to the Kimara Association area, and have already paid their entrance fees, using the financial assistance given by the city.

Majority have chosen to be relocated to the boulevard site in Banago, while only a few chose to transfer to the Vista Alegra-Granada relocation site.
