More Bacolod councilors are set to take their oaths as members of the Liberal Party before Rep. Alfredo Abelardo Benitez (Neg. Occ., 3rd District), LP Negros chairman, at the Bacolod Pavillon Resort Hotel, this morning.

Joining Bacolod Councilor El Cid Familiaran as member of the LP are councilors Archie Baribar, Sonya Verdeflor, Catalino Alisbo and Elmer Sy, LP Bacolod chairman Frank Carbon said yesterday.

Also expected at the oathtaking are former Bacolod councilors Juan Ramon Guanzon, Ana Marie Palermo and Jocelle Batapa-Sigue, Carbon added.

Those who take their oaths today are among those expected to be included in the LP slate for 2013, Carbon said.

Carbon said he, Andres Hagad and Butch Ebreo will also be among the LP candidates for councilors in 20913, and, possibly, also Ray Carmona.

He said they will decide whether to field a full slate from congressman to councilors, or just councilors.

They may also coalesce with an existing political party in Bacolod, he added.*CPG
