Fortuno heads sports club

Ruben Gerard Fortuno is the new president of the Virac Sports Club, a physical fitness organization that has expanded its membership in the past nine years.

Also inducted by Virac Mayor Jose U. Alberto II at the ABC Hall last Saturday evening were Rene P. Molina, vice president; Hermin Zafe, VP for internal affairs; Rey Mendez, VP for external affairs; Leo Armand Gapaz, secretary; Romeo Belaro, assistant secretary; Kag. Nel Asanza, treasurer; Rafael Villaluna, Jr., auditor; past president Fernan Gianan, MMO; Larry Subion and Eddie Mancanes, business managers; and, Eduardo Din, Jr., SPO4 Nicolas Tacorda, Mario Satairapan, Dario Gianan, Lawrence Lero, Randy Lopez and Rolly Lopez, sergeants-at-arms.

In his message, Mayor Alberto reiterated his administration's all-out support for sports, particularly in tennis and boxing where the chances of medals are high. He likewise urged them to carefully evaluate who should handle government affairs after the May 14 elections, especially those who have the interests of the province at heart.

In behalf of his brother, former NTC Commissioner Joseph A. Santiago who was in Manila, Leonito Santiago informed that his brother is out to regain the lost glory of Catanduanes in regional sports history, particularly in athletics and team events. He saluted the new leaders of the club, saying that the former NTC commissioner does not play basketball but loves the game so much, a fancy that was stoked when he was Mobiline's manager in the PBA wars years ago.
