Eden Aboso of Aksyon Radyo won over past president Jun Julita of DYRL as treasurer, 65-43, while Digicast Negros reporter Martian Muyco was elected auditor against past president Elsie Jolingan of Negros Daily Bulletin, 60-43 votes.

Merlinda Pedrosa of Sun.Star Bacolod, past presidents Boy Duran of Aksyon Radyo and Carla Cañet of Sun.Star Bacold, and Henry James Toga of Negros Daily Bulletin were elected members of the Board of Directors.

Montecillo said the implementation of programs in the club will depend on the quarantine status of Bacolod and Negros Occidental. However, he said that he would like to give emphasis on the welfare of senior citizen members of the NPC, that is the oldest press club in the country.*
