‘Deprived of acting vice-guv,’
Balite now as acting governor
CAPITOL, Tagbilaran City – Senior Board Member Dionisio Victor Balite, who appeared to be deprived in assuming as acting vice-governor, is now serving as acting governor of Bohol, instead.
This came after acting governor Rene Lopez Relampagos issued a memorandum dated December 12, 2109 designating Balite to take his place.
“Considering that my stay in Manila will be extended until next week to attend to important matters such as year-end assessment and planning seminar workshop of League of Municipalities of the Philippines, among others, following the rule of succession and pursuant to RA 7160 section 46, paragraphs C and D, you are hereby designated as acting governor until my return,” Relampagos said in a memorandum he signed.
The said memorandum was furnished to DILG provincial head Johnjoan Mende, all SP members and Capitol’s head of offices.
Relampagos assumed as acting governor following Gov. Art Yap’s preventive suspension for 90 days starting November 19, 2019.
Earlier, Capitol was jolted due to a fuss created following the DILG’s apparent error in designating Balite’s older brother Dionisio Neil Balite as acting vice-governor.
“Where on earth did DILG get the name of Dinisio Neil Balite as being the 1st ranking Sangguniang Panlalawigan member of the province of Bohol,?” the younger Balite lamented in his privilege speech last week.
DILG’s letter designating Dionisio Neil Balite as acting vice-governor was prompted “to fill up the temporary vacancy created due to the physical incapacity (on sick leave) of Vice-Governor elect Rene Relampagos.”
“After having some kind (of) mind-boggling thoughts regarding such incident,” Balite said, “but if it was done with malice, then I can only say may God bless the culprit.”
The younger Balite also posed these: Was DILG fed by wrong information (and) by whom? Was it not negligence on the part of the DILG or to anyone who caused such an erroneous and pathetic act?
If ever it was just an honest-to-goodness mistake, then let it be, he said. (rvo)
