  CITY MAYOR

  Hon. Evelio R. Leonardia 

     
     After earning a majority vote of confidence in the last May 10, 2004 elections, Atty. Evelio "Bing" R. Leonardia is back again as Bacolod City mayor, the post he held six years ago, with a renewed conviction, commitment, and vigor to keep this highly urbanized city back to its toes.
     Having been a Councilor in 1988-92, and Vice-Mayor in 1992-95 of this city, Mayor Leonardia is determined to restore the foundation of good governance in the city and for it to recoup its former reputation as one of the premier cities in the Philippines.
     Mayor Bing is joined by a team of top caliber men and women, whom he handpicked for their exceptional and technical expertise. This is a team that will help him in his quest towards "re-building Bacolod City", which has the following main goals; to provide efficient and effective administration, to improve the delivery of basic services, and to rebuild the foundation for economic development.
     Re-building Bacolod City is indeed a gargantuan task for one man, but with the support and help of all city officials, city department/office heads, city employees, businessmen, civil society, and all his constituents in the 61 barangays, Mayor Leonardia is certain he can make it in not so distant future.

 VICE MAYOR 

 Hon. Jude Thaddeus A. Sayson

   

     Vice Mayor Jude Thaddeus Sayson is a good example of a chip off the old block, as he hails from a family having zest and zing for public service. "Thaddy", as he is fondly called, is his own man, albeit his conviction to public service is influenced by the legacy left by his parents, the late Vice Mayor Jovito Sayson and the late OIC Vice Mayor Reynalda Sayson who was also a retired DECS Division Supervisor.
     Vice Mayor Thaddy started his political career as a Barangay Kagawad and then became the Barangay Captain of Barangay Sum-ag. He is the first Barangay Captain to be elected as City Councilor in 2001. He had faithfully served the City as he was elected as a two (2) term city councilor. He is happily married to Cecilia Crisol Sayson and a loving father to his three (3) sons and twin girls. He is also a Director of First Farmers’ Association, Inc. With his remarkable leadership as the Vice Mayor of the City, for the first time, the Sangguniang Panlungsod won the 2009 National Local Legislative Award for Highly Urbanized City Category given by the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) and the Philippine Councilors’ League (PCL) and also awarded the 2010 Excellence in Local Legislation-City Category, a yearly award given by the DILG for the Best Performing Cities in Region 6.
