 Brgy Capt. Sangcadra Dimasar
Dimasar will succeed the current president, Bienvenido
Culve, who run and won last May 14, 2007 election as councilor of this city. When Culve will take his oath in the 10th City council, he will leave the presidency vacant giving Dimasar the presidency and with it the honor of becoming an ex-officio member of the City Council.
It may be recalled that Culve ( read article)
became an Ex-Officio member of the City Council also by succession after then Liga
Ng Mga Barangay President Sultan Abdul Marcaban was killed in an ambush. Culve however, upon becoming president was not able to call for an election for the vice-presidency until now.
Dimasar garnered 38 votes against
his opponent Ranier “Bobby” Soriano of
Barangay San Francisco who has only 9 votes. Forty nine (49) voted out
of fifty four (54) because there are
three (3) Barangay Chairman from the barangays Dampalan, Palpalan and Diborok
who were disqualified to vote for the non-payment of annual dues. Two other votes were voided
and nullified.
During the filing of their certificates of candidacy on June 21, 2007, four Barangay Chairmen filed
their candidacy, Sangcadra Dimasar of Barangay Kawit, Fernandito Mondarte
of Barangay Santa Lucia, Ranier Soriano of
San Francisco and Dionesio Sumampong of Barangay San Pedro.
Three days before the special election,
Sumampong withdrew his candidacy and Mondarte also withdrew early today.
“All the Barangay Chairmen know
already that I am supporting Dimasar,” Mayor Samuel Co told this reporter in
an exclusive interview. Since we belong to one party I requested those who are
running against Dimasar to withdraw and support my decision as a mayor because
this is also the decision from our higher party leader, Mayor Co added.
“We need the strength and the
cooperation of all the Barangay officials so that we may be able to fast-track
whatever projects and programs that we have in our city.” Co stressed
Dimasar will only serve for three months since this is his
last term. It can be remembered that a Barangay Election is scheduled to be held this coming October.
