Tining is New ABC President of Cebu Province

Cayang's Brangay Chariman Celestino "Tining" Martinez III is the new president of the Association of Barangay Councils of Cebu Province. Martinez ran uncontested during the elections and claimed the ABC presidency by default, making him an ex-officio member of the Cebu Provincial Board (PB).

Samboan ABC president Emerito Calderon stayed as vice president. He held the position since 2010.

The Freeman reported:

“I hope I can live up to the expectation sa tanan and most especially, I hope and I look forward to a very fruitful and successful league sa umaabot nga mga tuig,” Martinez told his colleagues after the elections.

Martinez said that among his priorities is to work with the Capitol in extending assistance to typhoon victims in northern Cebu. Bogo City is one of the areas severely devastated by the typhoon.

He said that his being close to Governor Hilario Davide III, his ally in the Liberal Party, is a big factor to help the barangays. He then thanked Holganza and the rest of ABC presidents of the different component cities and municipalities for their cooperation.

Holganza, meanwhile, assured the members of the league that they are in good hands under the leadership of Martinez. He bid farewell to his colleagues in the PB during its session last Monday.

It was a recognition bitterly fought at the highest court of the land; it was a victory that, no doubt, is a major one.
