The local chief executive then remarked that the video proves “public service is not just for government personnel, but also for private individuals.”
“This is the kind of change we need, public service is not just for government personnel, but also for private individuals like this video sender,” the post’s description read.
Mayor Albee then lauded the action of the concerned citizen, saying that he is an inspiration to the people of Bacolod and that everyone should emulate his actions.
“My hats off to you,Sir! You are an inspiration to all Bacolodnons. We should not allow thievery to occur and if we’re concerned with our city and fellows, we should emulate this video sender,” the description on the post found on the official page of Mayor Albee Benitez read.
Mayor Alfredo Abelardo "Albee" Bantug Benitez currently sits as the city's local chief executive after he won in the 2022 local elections. Before running for Bacolod city mayor, he served for three consecutive terms as the representative of the 3rd District of Negros Occidental. He was once touted as the richest congressman in the Philippines and is the owner of Brightlight Productions, producer of Lunch Out Loud.
Last year, Mayor Albee received an apology through a social media post from veteran showbiz columnist Lolit Solis after she called him out and asked him to stop producing the TV5 noontime program, “Lunch Out Loud.” Manay Lolit spoke against the show after LOL host Jeffrey Tam got badly injured due to a prank that his co-host Billy Crawford pulled on him. The showbiz writer admitted that she did not take into consideration the people who would lose their jobs if the show is canceled. Nevertheless, she still advised the hosts of the show to stop pulling off dangerous pranks so that they would not receive criticism.
In another IG post, Manay Lolit Solis called Sue Ramirez, the girlfriend of Victorias City Mayor Javi Benitez, his lucky charm. Mayor Javi is the son of Mayor Albee, the local chief executive of Bacolod City, about an hour away from Victorias City. In her post, Manay Lolit said that Sue is present in almost all of the rallies of the newly proclaimed mayor. The veteran showbiz columnist said that Mayor Javi, who is also an actor, might take a break from showbiz to first deal with the work of a mayor. She said the new local chief executive appears ready to take on the job.
