Gov. Espino inducts new Liga ng mga Barangay, PCL prov’l presidents
LINGAYEN–Two more members of the Sangguniang Panlalawigan (SP) were inducted into office by Governor Amado T. Espino Jr. during the oath-taking rites held at the ceremonial hall of Urduja House last June 28.
The positions, however, were temporary in nature until new federation presidents are elected in the provincial level, following the 2013 barangay elections.
It was prompted by urgency of the immediate turn-over after the positions were vacated by former Board Members Amadeo Espino and Salvador Perez who won in their respective candidacies in the May 13 elections.
Liga ng mga Barangay Provincial Vice President Alfe Soriano of Malasiqui became the immediate successor of former Liga President Espino, who was elected Mayor of Bautista.
Meanwhile, Philippine Councilors’ League (PCL) Provincial Federation Secretary Rosalie Ellasus from San Jacinto succeeded Perez, former PCL President.
