Delgado said he is qualified for the position of general manager, however, it is still up to the mayor whom to appoint in the vacant positions.
Delgado studied Engineering at Western Institute of Technology in Iloilo City and finished his Master in Public Administration in 2008 at the Colegio de la Purisima Concepcion.
He started his government employment in 1990 at MRWD where he held different positions until he was promoted as head of the maintenance department then, he appointed as acting general manager.*
