THE Sanguniang Panlalawigan of Bohol is having a new member in the person of Dionisio Joseph “DJ” Valmores Balite.
“President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. has appointed Dionisio Joseph V. Balite as a Member of the Sangguniang Panlalawigan for the Province of Bohol, under the Department of the Interior and Local Government,” Presidential Communications Office said in fb post of Balite’s mother Russel Valmores Balite.
In an exclusive interview, DJ Balite confirmed his appointment but has not received yet a hard copy of the said appointment. He may assume office on Tuesday’s session of the provincial board as long as he has the said copy of his appointment, he said.
DJ Balite was chosen as SP member after the demise of his father, the late Vice-Gov. Dionisio Victor Ancog Balite on July 17.
Then a vacuum took place in the provincial board since senior BM Tita Virtudazo Baja assumed the posts of the vice-governor and Balite’s appointment is to complete the required ten regular members.
Balite is to serve an unexpired term of a regular BM until June 30, 2025.
He thanked the following persons for his appointment: My thanks to President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., Governor Erico Aristotle Aumentado, Cong Van-van Cadorna Aumentado, Cong Alexie Besas Tutor, Sangguniang Panlalawigan of Bohol,special thanks to Cong Emano of Misamis Oriental, Uncle Peter Jason Balite, papa Pedie, My family mama Russel Valmores Balite, Papa Dionisio Victor Balite, Prantit Miswa, Noel Valmores Balite, Dindin Balite, Therese Rose Dionne Balite, and Valmores Family, VM Toper Tutor, My grandfather Atty Balite, Senator Mark Villar,Vice Governor Cecille Marcos of Ilocos, Joanna Madanguit, Future Cong Baba Yap, Mayor Jane Yap, uncle Salvador Diputado,Ante Alma Diputado,Ante jyck2 and uncle Biboy, Ante, Hermesa Rebosura Balite and uncle Dionisio Jr Balite, ante Leah Virginia Lim and uncle Ritchel Lim, uncle Mayor Neil Balite, ante Marissa,Atty.
