BACOLOD City – The new mayor of Isabela, Negros Occidental terminated some 234 job-order casual workers of the local government.
Joselito Malabor admitted this happened on April 20, just two days after the late Mayor Enrique Montilla III was buried.
Malabor, who was elected vice mayor, assumed the mayorship after Montilla died of cardiac arrest on April 13.
In radio interview, Malabor said those he terminated seldom reported to work or were not reporting at all.
He previously thought of giving them more time and wait for the annual fiesta (April 19 to 22) to end before firing them, but he changed his mind.
Malabor is the younger brother of Sangguniang Panlalawigan member Renato, who was gunned down in June 2015 in Isabela.
Renato was rumored to be running for mayor against Montilla in the 2016 national election.
Malabor and new Vice Mayor Henry Foscablo, the No. 1 elected Sangguniang Bayan member, took their oaths of office before Gov. Alfredo Marañon Jr. on April 17./PN
