Isidro Zayco heads the Lakas-Kampi-CMD in Negros Occidental. Bacolod Rep. Monico Puentevella was appointed by President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo as City-District Chapter chairman of Lakas-Kampi-CMD party in the Lone Congressional District of Bacolod, a press release from his office said yesterday. As District Chapter Chairman, Puentevella is empowered to decide all party matters in the city and district, particularly selection of party candidates, consolidation of all Lakas and Kampi officers and members as well as implementation and enforcement of party rules and policies, the press release said. Meanwhile, Zayco said the chairmen for the Negros Occidental districts are: Rep. Alfredo Marañon III – second district, Rep. Jose Carlos Lacson – third district, and Rep.
