TACLOBAN CITY-Leyte board member Ranulfo ‘Bob’ Abellanosa is seeking the chairmanship of the Provincial Board Members League of the Philippines (PBMLP) – Eastern Visayas chapter.
And Abellanosa, who is representing Leyte’s first district, appears to have clinched the post as he is running unopposed.
The region’s 73 provincial board members are to hold their election next month in Cebu City.
The current regional president of the PBMLP is Leyte board member Trinidad ‘Ebbie’ Apostol of the second district.
Apostol was named to the post as interim regional president after the regularly elected president, Edgar Igano of Biliran province, was earlier named as the national secretary-general.
The conduct of elections of the provincial board members is pursuant to memorandum circular issued by the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) issued by Sec. Eduardo Año.
It was learned that among Abellanosa’s line up include Apostol, nominated as among the regional directors.
Abellanosa is now serving his third and last term as board member covering Leyte’s first district which covers the towns of Palo, Babatngon, Tanauan, San Miguel, Santa Fe, and Tolosa.
