BANGUED, Abra – The Department of the Interior and Local Government has appointed senior provincial board member Russel Bragas as acting vice governor following the final ruling of the Office of the President suspending Vice Gov. Maria Jocelyn Valera-Bernos for 18 months.
Bragas received his designation on Friday, Nov. 15, from DILG Secretary Juanito Victor C. Remulla through DILG-Cordillera Regional Director Araceli A. San Juan.Remulla ordered Bragas to take over the post “to prevent hiatus in, and paralysis, of local government operations” under DILG Memorandum Circular 2019-21 that stipulates operational guidelines governing local government operations.
Dr. Voltaire L. Seares, medical director of the Dr. Petronillo Seares Sr. Memorial Hospital here, complained that Bernos imposed an unjust lockdown at the hospital that resulted in the delay and denial of services to the people of Abra. A final and executory order by the Office of the President on Sept. 23 through the Deputy Executive Secretary for Legal Affairs of the Office of the Executive Secretary Anna Liza G. Logan said Bernos failed to file a motion for reconsideration on her suspension before the OP.
