BACOLOD City – Negros Occidental governor Eugenio Jose Lacson supports the appointment of Pablo Luis Azcona as new acting administrator of the Sugar Regulatory Administration (SRA).
Azcona’s appointment was announced on Friday, April 28, by the Presidential Communications Office. He previously served as SRA board member representing sugar planters.
According to Lacson, it is good that another Negrense was appointed as SRA head. He hoped that a Negrense would fill Azcona’s previous post.
The new head took over from SRA officer-in-charge, Department of Agriculture Senior Undersecretary Domingo Panganiban, after the previous administrator, David John Thaddeus Alba, stepped down on April 16.
Alba, who is also a Negrense, resigned from the post citing his poor health./PN
