The 20th City Council, during its regular session presided over by City Vice Mayor Bebot Rodriguez, dismissed the administrative complaint filed against Punong Barangay Romeo Bacarro of Barangay Tablon.
Adopting the order of the committee on ethics and blue ribbon chaired by Councilor Edgar S. Cabanlas on BR Case No. 2024-09, the Council dismissed the said case due to the complainant’s lack of interest to continue the litigation of the case.
It may be recalled that an administrative complaint was filed against Barangay Chair Bacarro for simple misconduct and neglect of duty, violation of RA 6713, Section 4 A and C, and Section 5A.
The legislation was sponsored by the committees on ethics and blue ribbon and laws and rules both chaired by Councilor Cabanlas. (JBDacer/SP)
