"Yes, that's confirmed. Mariant and I will now be in the same party," Board Member Melimore Saycon told the Visayan DAILY STAR.
Their two other running mates for the Provincial Board
will be Dumaguete Councilor Saleto Erames and incumbent Board Member

IN DAUIN The Commission on Audit is investigating Mayor Rodrigo Alanano of Dauin for the collection of traveling allowance and the alleged use of a government-owned vehicle. The case stemmed from the complaint raised by the Sangguniang Bayan headed by Vice Mayor Frances Araula. Araula and seven members of the municipal council had passed a
resolution calling on the Ombudsman and the COA to investigate the
mayor for using the government-owned green Pajero vehicle, even
during weekends and holidays. |
