Negros Oriental Gov. Carlo Jorge Joan “Guido” Reyes died on Wednesday morning due to a lingering illness. He was 62.
Molas said she already met with Vice Gov. Manuel Sagarbarria Jr. to inform him about Reyes’ death and to turn over the governor’s programs and projects.“I would like to express my sincere gratitude to everyone who prayed for our late governor Reyes. It has been my life’s honor to serve under such a kind and generous leader,” Molas said.“Thank you for all your love and support to the late governor. I hope his legacy in public service will live on and inspire others to do the same,” she added.
Macias was replaced by Vice Governor-elect Agustin Perdices but the latter also died of stomach cancer on Jan. 5, 2011.Degamo, then a provincial board member representing the third legislative district of Negros Oriental, assumed as governor in accordance with the Local Government Code’s rule of succession as he was the highest ranking member of the provincial board.Degamo went on to hold the position until June 2022 when Pryde Henry Teves emerged as winner in the gubernatorial race.
Teves, who served as governor of Negros Oriental for just four months, stepped down on Oct. 11, paving the way for Degamo to assume his post. Degamo was assassinated inside the family compound in Pamplona town on March 4 this year. Nine other people who were with Degamo during the attack also died. Eleven suspects were arrested and initially linked suspended Negros Oriental Rep. Arnolfo “Arnie” Teves Jr., Henry Pryde’s brother, to Degamo’s murder.—REPORTS FROM KAYE BRIER AND ADOR VINCENT MAYOLSubscribe to our daily newsletter
