Atty.
Velasco heads IBP chapter anew
Prominent practicing lawyer Angeles A. Velasco has been elected president
of the Integrated Bar of the Philippines -
Catanduanes Chapter for the seventh time in his
storied legal career.
In the biennial election of officers and directors held at the IBP Hall
at the Hall of Justice last Saturday (Feb. 24),
Atty. Velasco garnered 14 votes, six more than
the other candidate, Atty. Juan G. Atencia, who
got eight.
For the vice presidency, Atty. Bruno S. Cabrera and Atty. Manuel A.
Magistrado repeated history when they had
identical 11 votes. As a result, they will halve
the term of office just like when they ended up
tied for the presidency two years ago.
The other IBP officers who were elected were: secretary, Atty. Jose V.
Mapa (19 votes); treasurer, Atty. Rafael N.
Zurbito, Jr. (17 votes); and, for five vacant
seats at the board of directors, Atty. Marlin F.
Velasco (16), Atty. Gregorio M. Sarmiento, Jr.
(16), Atty. Dexter A. Francisco (14), Atty. Jose
T. Tablizo (14), Atty. Merito L. Urgel (16) and
Atty. Pio T. Rodulfo (19).
