ROXAS CITY, Capiz – Capiz Provincial Liga ng mga Barangay (LNB) President Querubin Pamplon asked the seven punong barangays of Sapian, Capiz to submit documents backing their call to oust LNB municipal president Gina Yelo for failure to call monthly meetings.

Pamplona said Tuesday that the seven signatories to the petition letter should prove their allegations.

He clarified that he has no authority to decide on the petition letter because it will be passed to the Regional LNB level.

It may be recalled that three of the 10 village chiefs did not sign the petition against Punong Barangay Gina Yelo of Bilao.

The petition also sought to declare the post of the Liga municipal president vacant and hold an election.

According to Punong Barangay Enrique Eroy, Liga vice president, Yelo failed to call for a meeting for several months already.

He said that Yelo, who also served as provincial Liga secretary, also failed to make plans and programs in the different barangays of Sapian and to give priority to the welfare of the league.

The petition letter was forwarded to the National Liga ng mga Barangay President Eden Pineda and Capiz Provincial Liga ng mga Barangay President Querubin Pamplona.

The punong barangays that signed the petition letter were from Poblacion, Agsilab, Lonoy, Damayan, Majanlud, Agtatacay Sur and Maninang.
