Marcos To Veto Bill for Iriga City Charier I Erquiza New i P.O. Inspector IRIGA, Cam. Sur, May 20. — The passage in both Houses of Congress of House Bill No. 7270, converting this town into a city, forced the residents here, opposing the measure to seek Malacanang’s veto over the bill which they vigorously opposed. A letter and telegram to this effect had been forwarded to President Ferdinand E. Marcos immediately following the close of the 100day regular congressional session by the anti-city residents headed by former deputy governor and editor Margarito de Villa. A delegation to go to Malacanang which had been planned originally was however discouraged and cancelled for obvious reasons. Following is the truecopy of the letter and telegram addressed to the President: Pres. Marcos Filomeno P. Erquiza is the new Post Office Inspector for Camarines Sur. Fie succeeds P.O. Inspector P. Carmelo who has retired recently. Mr. Erquiza is a native of Dagupan City, Pangasinan. His previous assignment before coming to Naga was in Legazpi City. Correction In the last issue of this paper [May 18] a news item was published on the front page entitled: "3rd Death Anniversary of Fr. Ben Ravanera” when it should have been “Fr. Dominador Ravanera”. Ben Ravanera elder brother of the deceased Fr. Dominador Ravanera, is very much alive and kicking. Our apology. — The Bicol Star. Bep. Fuentebella Urges Prov’l.
