PNP insists that I keep
bodyguards: Renacia
BY ROMY AMARADO

Mayor Antonio Renacia of Sibulan, Oriental Negros denied reports that he is maintaining bodyguards.

Renacia was reacting to a question at a television program recently, that he was still keeping three bodyguards, although when the May 14 polls are over. He, however said that his security people were strongly recommended by the chief of police of Sibulan because of the death threats he has been receiving.

"This is the first time that I am making it public that I had been receiving death threats before the May election," Renacia said adding that he received the threats through text messages.

'Immature' politicians hit

Reelected Oriental Negros Vice Governor Jose Baldado described politicians who harbor grudges against their opponents as "immature."

To reports that some supporters of politicians are being deprived of basic services by candidates they did not support in the elections, Baldado said public service should be for all. Reelected Sibulan Mayor Antonio Renacia also said local government officials should serve their constituents without consideration of political affiliations.

"We will serve everybody. Let us set aside the past, work together and move forward," Renacia said.
