Secretary to the mayor, Atty. Edward Joseph Cuansing, has been recommended by Mayor Evelio Leonardia, to be the next Bacolod administrator, after Em Legaspi-Ang resigned and filed her Certificate of Candidacy for councilor Oct. 6.

While waiting for the Sangguniang Panlungsod’s approval of Cuansing’s designation, assistant city administrator, Atty. Allyn Dignadice, will assume the post vacated by Ang.

Ang, who is also the executive director of the Emergency Operations Center, and Dr. Chris Sorongon, EOC deputy director, filed their COCs for councilor under the Grupo Progreso team led by Leonardia.

The mayor said the two will remain with EOC since their work is voluntary in nature.

Sorongon admitted he was invited only lately by Leonardia to be part of his team since the group needs a doctor-candidate, who can take care of health issues.

Ang and Sorongon said they will continue with their work at the vaccination centers and the EOC since the campaign period will start March 25 yet.

They said there are still a lot that needs to be done especially that the COVID cases are overwhelming.

Sorongon said that while the city logged a record high in COVID deaths in September, he believes that the EOC is on the right track in the policies it is implementing under an alert level. – MML
