DUMAGUETE, NEGROS ORIENTAL -- As the Philippine mid-term elections draw near this 2025, Dumaguete City Mayor named Mr. Felipe Antonio 'Ipe' Buscato Remollo will end his last term in office coming next year. Marked by his leadership, he had also sat at the helm from 1998 to 2001, and this time from 2016 until now in the present day. Serving the people of Dumaguete has three (3) terms lined up, he will retire at the end of a momentous cycle for the Dumagueteños.
This was the current term as a Mayor himself, where Dumaguete City has under its experience massive large-scale infrastructures towards better living condition in the city, which promotes fast economic growth. Specifically, better results were through bridges and road networks as vital infrastructures. In envisioning the administration, it could be seen by the phrase "Lupad Dumaguete", or creating a living community that is cultured for urban renewal and professional governance.
Soon to assume, the local City Councilor position 'Manny Arbuyes Arbon' looks back at an unforgettable legacy of Ipe Remollo, during an exclusive ambush interview last Monday night (November 4th, 2024 -- Dumaguete local time) at the Persons with Disability (PWD) gathering in 'Brgy. Bajumpandan': "I am really looking forward for his success, moving up in his congressional level", Arbon remarked.
Rumors in the breeze whether 'Ipe Remollo' wants his son to succeed him at the end of his term. Below are updates about Atty. Felipe Claudio 'Dio' Remollo, former Chief Political Affairs Officer for House Speaker 'Martin Gomez Romualdez, who had himself specialized and mentored barangay officials on their capacities to stand up for women and the marginalized groups.
His potential candidacy is viewed by many as a continuation of his father's legacy and a hopeful future for Dumaguete City. If Dio is successfully elected in next year's mid-term elections, OneNETnews can exclusively reveal the scoop on us that the "Lupad Dumaguete" slogan may soon evolve into "Lupad Probinsya", which is being considered as the working slogan for next year.
Our new leadership with an improvement-carrying continuation will be life-changing journeys for the residents of Dumaguete within the elections tally, especially since this timing is extremely crucial in the future. Around a month ago in October, the Commission of Elections (COMELEC) already announced its time frame for next year's elections, with the filing of certificates of candidacy (COCs) to be finalized who were battling against our local politicians such as Teves and the like.
