ILOILO CITY - Mayor Jerry Treñas on Wednesday assured residents that he is 'doing well and on the path to a full recovery.' 'If it were up to me, I would already be back to work. However, following my doctor's advice, I need to take some time to fully recover before returning to my duties as Mayor of Iloilo City,' Treñas said in a statement released to media by his spokesperson Joy Fantilaga. Treñas underwent a bile duct operation while he was in Manila late last month. In a previous interview, the mayor's daughter Raisa Treñas-Chu said her father decided to undergo a check-up while they were waiting for the convention of the National Unity Party. A further test showed he had a block on his bile duct. 'It's a normal procedure,' she said. Vice Mayor Jeffrey Ganzon and Councilor Sedfrey Cabaluna are currently serving as acting mayor and vice mayor, respectively. 'Rest assured, I will be back very soon, ready to continue serving the people of our beloved city,' Treñas added. Source: Philippines News Ag ency
