The Bacolod City Sangguniang Panlungsod (SP) Committee on Laws, Ordinances, and Good Government has scheduled hearings surrounding cases filed against barangay officials for today, from May 29 to 30, and from June 1 to 2.
According to committee chairperson, City Councilor Caesar Distrito, they will be hearing cases against Barangay Tangub Captain Noli Villarosa, Barangay 35 Captain Manuel Huelar, Barangay Alijis Captain Vemver Ray Buenafe, and Barangay Villamonte Captain Friday Solinap.
“The hearings will determine whether or not the respondents acted in bad faith in performing their duties as barangay officials,” said Distrito. “The issues will be joined during the hearing and the committee will then come up with a recommendation either to dismiss the case for lack of merit or to suspend the respondent.”
“While the case is being heard, respondents can also be subject to preventive suspension upon motion of the complainants,” he added./WDJ
