Creation of brgy kagawads ass'n politically motivated?
ROXAS CITY – The recent formation of an organization composed of former and incumbent barangay kagawads here has brought observers into thinking that it is in preparation for the upcoming political exercise in 2010.
Eighty-six incumbent barangay kagawads coming from 31 barangays of Roxas City recently formed a group called Barangay Kagawads Association (Bakas).
It was learned that the president of Bakas is Kagawad Marlon Vidal of Tanque. Vidal told reporters that the organization has no political purpose and instead it is for the upliftment of their members.
On the other hand, TNT-Capiz learned that former barangay kagawads would be the next to be organized by the provincial capitol on June 19.
The said induction of officers and members will be held at the provincial capitol on the same day at around 3 p.m. The group has a slogan, “Hublag 2010: Handum sang Capiznon.”
City Liga President Wilson Acervo welcomed the creation of an organization composed of former and incumbent barangay kagawads. He said there is nothing wrong as long as they organize themselves for their upliftment.
Acervo clarified that he is not against the organization provided that their purpose is to protect their interest and not the interest of the few who are behind the organization.
