Controversial Senior Inspector Santiago Rapiz was relieved for the second time as police chief of E.B. Magalona Saturday, two days before the May 14 polls.

Senior Supt. Rosendo Franco, provincial police director of Negros Occidental, yesterday said a complaint was filed against Rapiz before the Comelec for allegedly engaging in partisan politics.

Rapiz vehemently denied the claims of his accusers that he is partisan and favoring a certain candidate. Franco said the relief of Rapiz was approved by the Comelec regional office. "We have no other choice but to follow the Comelec order", he added.

Negros Occidental Provincial Elections Supervisor Jessie Suarez last night said he will order the relief and suspension of COMELEC officer Jason Sy of Valladolid for overriding the order of the Commission not to include 946 persons on the list of voters in Valladolid town.

Judge Manuel Limsiaco of the Municipal Circuit Trial Court of Valladolid-San Enrique-Pulupandan Saturday issued an order for the inclusion of the 946 on the list of Valladolid voters, Suarez said.

Suarez said an ally of mayoralty candidate Ricardo Presbitero had earlier offered him money to support the inclusion of the 946 but he refused it.
