MAYOR SAYS
Golez should do homework
BY CARLA GOMEZ

Rep. Anthony Golez should have done his homework before launching his “rocket” at the House of Representatives so he could have avoided firing a dud Tuesday, Bacolod Mayor Evelio Leonardia said yesterday.

Leonardia was referring to the privilege speech delivered by Golez that he immediately disseminated in a press release that, he said, only showed that he has not kept in touch with what is happening in the city.

In his Congress speech, Golez said that the city officials had claimed that Ramon Ricardo Roque, deputy secretary general of the House, had issued a certification that it is legal to celebrate Bacolod's charter day on June 18, and that Roque has denied it.
