COUNCILOR SUSPENDED FOR 60 DAYS DUE TO ABSENCES

PAOAY, Ilocos Norte, Aug. 17–Mayor Bobby Clemente has approved the 60-day suspension of Councilor Dante Langaman. His suspension was endorsed to the mayor by the Sangguniang Bayan under Vice Mayor Aileen Llaguno-Guerrero. Record showed that the councilor had allegedly erred for committing nine consecutive absences in the SB regular sessions without written notices that justified his acts. At presstime, Langaman could not be contacted for comment. Meanwhile, DILG officials of the province reacted to the Langaman suspension case saying the erring SB member should formally resign from service if he is no longer interested to serve his town mates who accorded him the mandate to seat in the municipal legislative council.
