Roxas City - Surprisingly, in a boxing lingo, former City Vice Mayor Alan Celino, out slugged incumbent City Mayor Vicente B. Bermejo, for the mayoralty post of the city of Roxas in the first automated national and local elections on May l0 this year. Celino of the Liberal Party garnered 33,l33 votes as against Bermejo’s 32,436 votes, or a margin of 697 votes in favor of Celino.
The followers of Bermejo were caught by surprise, they said. They believed that prior to the May l0 elections, borrowing cockfighting lingo, Bermejo was llamado, while Celino was dejado. What went wrong? YOUR GUES IS AS GOOD as mine. Bermejo is a first termer city chief executive of Roxas City. He was formerly the municipal mayor of Panay, Capiz for nine years and provincial governor of Capiz, also for nine years.
