Media organization schedules ‘12 elections

Saturday, February 4, 2012

THE Baguio Correspondents and Broadcasters Club (BCBC) will hold its annual general elections on February 12, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., at the BCBC Club House along Wright Park.

BCBC past president and lifetime member Ramon “Mondax” Dacawi, chairman of this year’s election, said members who are running for any position should file their duly notarized certificate of candidacy at the Public Information Office of City Hall or at the Philippine Information Agency office on or before the deadline on February 10.

Have something to report? Tell us in text, photos or videos.

The following are the positions to be filled up: president; vice president for print, radio and television; secretary; treasurer; auditor and four board of directors. Candidates and members are required pay P50 as annual dues in order to qualify to vote.

In keeping with tradition, Dacawi said, “A liquor ban is in force during the conduct of the elections and it will only be retracted upon the orders of the chair.”

Members who are 50 meters away from the voting place during the 3 p.m. deadline will still be allowed to cast their vote, he added.

Right after closing time, canvassing of votes will be done by the Commission on Elections, who also sit as board of canvassers. (Joseph Zambrano)
