CALBAYOG CITY – The call for some board members of Samar province to resign has political motives, according to second district Board Member Eunice Babalcon, when asked to comment on the issue.
Babalcon in a short interview said that those who are asking for them to resign should be identified including their motive.
“If we already know these people that are asking for our resignation, then it will be the only time that we can answer their call for us to resign,” said Babalcon.
She added that if ever the call for them to resign comes from the camp of Governor Sharee Ann Tan, they will not abide with it as said move only aims to force them to approve the proposed budget of the provincial government.
“If this call comes from them, then we will not do it… we won’t listen to them,” Babalcon stressed, adding that the governor and her younger brother, Vice Gov. Stephen James Uy, have no right and are not credible in asking them to resign.
The Tan siblings are facing recall petitions for their alleged incompetence.
Although the people behind the issue of asking them to resign are not yet identified, Babalcon added that if said move really comes from the camp of the governor then one of the reasons why the resign call was made was the budget of the province.
“It is only clear that, what they really want is for the budget to be approved and they don’t care on the correct procedures that we need to follow in approving it,” she added.
“We understand that the budget for the province is important, but what we only want is for the proper procedure to be followed and not by the procedure that they want us to do,” Babalcon stressed.
