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.

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.
