Rep. Pryde Henry Teves (3rd District, Negros Oriental) said he prefers fresh and new blood to replace the vacated position of Board Member in his District. {{more}}
The position was vacated after board member- elect Roel Degamo, who won in the May 10 polls with the highest number of votes, moved up to the position of vice governor by rule of succession following the death of Governor-elect Emilio Macias II.
Vice governor-elect Agustin Perdices was also installed as the new governor of the province by virtue of the same rule.
Teves, however, stressed that he is against veteran legislators and politicians in the 3rd district, but would prefer new ideas, that will complement the present craft of leadership in the district.
He admitted there are suggestions that one of the family members be tossed up to the vacated position, to include his younger brother Geovanni and his uncle Herminio Teves II.
He said he will have to look and choose from among the short list of five to fill up the vacant position as soon as possible. (PNA)
