          Sy was an incumbent Sangguniang Panlungsod member, and a significant political figure in Bacolod, famously known for his tagline, “Less talk, more action”, the EO said.

          His political life started as a city councilor in 1998 until 2007. He was again elected as councilor in 2010, 2016, and re-elected in 2019. He served as president of the Philippine Councilors’ League–Bacolod City Chapter for three consecutive periods, the EO added.*
