BANGUED, Abra – The Sangguniang Panlalawigan has ordered officials of Barangay Calaba here who enacted an ordinance imposing a “death sentence” over garbage dumping to continue working while their suspension case is being reviewed.
In an order this week, the SP told Barangay Captain Renato Brasuela, Barangay Kagawad Marjun S. Santiago, Carmelita Venus, and Rosemel Viado, and Sangguniang Kabataan Chairperson Daryll Blanes to continue their duties and ordered the Sangguniang Bayan of Bangued and all other persons acting under their instructions to prevent the implementation of the suspension order issued on July 31, 2024.
Mayor Mila A. Valera ordered the barangay officials to leave their posts for 90 days after the Sangguniang Bayan found them guilty of grave misconduct, grave abuse of authority, gross neglect of duty, gross dishonesty, and conduct prejudicial to the best interest of the service. Two months later on Aug. 8, 2024, the suspended barangay officials filed an appeal with prayer for the immediate issuance of a stay order with the SP.
