Bacolod Election Officer Mavil Majarucon-Sia yesterday said she will file cases against two candidates for barangay captain in Barangay Singcang-Airport, Bacolod City for committing an election offense after reviewing the evidences gathered against them.

Incumbent Barangay Captain Rosinie Distrito and his challenger Joselito Baloyo set up temporary tents in front of the polling place in the barangay and Majarucon-Sia said she will evaluate the evidences they have gathered to determine against whom charges should be filed.

“What they did was a direct defiance of a lawful order. I had already sent them an order to remove their tents or temporary structures in front of JR Torres Elementary School Sunday”, Majarucon-Sia said.
