BACOLOD City – Mayor Evelio Leonardia is travelling abroad.
Until he returns, Vice Mayor El Cid Familiaran is taking over as acting mayor.
In Memorandum Order No. 183 dated Oct. 25, Leonardia designated Familiaran as acting mayor effective Oct. 27 “until his return to office.”
Familiaran said his temporary designation took effect Friday noon when he received the memo.
No. 1 Councilor Ricardo Tan is taking over as acting vice mayor.
He will preside over the Sangguniang Panlungsod session on Nov. 3, said Familiaran.
Leonardia’s memo did not state where he was travelling and when he was set to return.
Sen. Emmanuel “Manny” Pacquiao was set to fight Jessie Vargas on Nov. 5 in Las Vegas, Nevada (Nov. 6 in the Philippines).
Leonardia would usually carry Pacquiao’s belt or the Philippine flag during the eight-division world champion’s bouts.
The city government has designated five live-viewing areas for the fight: BAYS Center, Taculing barangay hall, and gymnasiums of barangays Granada, Banago and Sum-ag./PN
