SP confirms reappointment of 2 city execs
In the Sangguniang Panlalawigan, Vice Governor Rolex Suplico threatened to block the confirmation of Provincial Administrator Manuel Mejorada. It's a different case in the Sangguniang Panlungsod (SP) as both City Administrator Melchor Tan and City Legal Office chief Atty. Edgar Gil were confirmed smoothly during last Wednesday's SP session.
Tan and Gil's confirmation was made following the request of Mayor Jerry Treñas to the city council for the reappointment of two of his personnel. Both positions are co-terminus but it needs the approval of the city council.
The city council unanimously approved Tan and Gil's reappointment. The two have been part of Trenas's think-tank especially in running the affairs of the city government.
Tan has a hand in the the hiring of job-for-hire-employees and casual employees at the Iloilo City Hall. He keeps the record of the casual employees.
While, Gil keeps track on the cases filed by the city government and those filed against the city government. He has also figured in several legal disputes that made the city government popular and unpopular.
