Liga ng mga Barangay elects officers

By Jocelyn P Alvarez

ZAMBOANGA CITY - The Association of Barangay Councils (ABC) or the Liga ng mga Barangay here held on Wednesday its election of officers.

Barangay Putik Chairman Jerry Perez was elected president vice Abdurahman Nuño of Barangay Talauksangay.

Vic Larato of the City Information Office (CIO) said with the election of Perez as ABC president, he will also take the place of Nuño as ex-officio member of the Sangguniang Panlungsod. “He will receive the same privileges as the regular councilors do,” Larato explained.

Larato said the ABC election of officers was supervised by Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) Zamboanga City Office headed by Moh. Taha Arakama.

Shortly after DILG declared the winners of said election, the officers took their oath with Mayor Beng Climaco as the inducting officer.

Other ABC officers are Rey Modillas, vice president, and Joselito Macrohon, auditor. The members of the Board of Directors are Ronald Maravilla, Rogelio Miranda, Raphael Apolinario, Attang Mohammad Nu, Angelica Inot, Razdy Mukaram, Jose Alavar and Antonio Saavedra.
