Chairman
Robert John Sobrepeña vowed to discipline violators of the by-laws, rules and
regulations of Southwoods Golf and Country Club.
He said
member Chris Carreon, allegedly of the Southwoods Reform Group, was suspended
over 140 questionable proxy votes during the Board of Directors election.
Carreon was
found out when Union Bank, the Club’s Stock and Transfer Agent, disallowed
proxies submitted by their group and the members for whose signatures were not
authenticated.
Sobrepeña
said the Club has implemented the policy of mailing prenumbered proxy forms
directly to members involved, as practiced by Manila Polo Club.
He said other
“Reform Group” members composed of Mari Antunez, Jimmy Gosiaco, Hanson So, Boy
David and Ernie Salazar, have likewise been suspended.
Board
Secretary Marisse Agustin claimed she was harrassed when she refused to yield
taped Minutes of proceedings.
“This 2013,
Southwoods members can expect that management will fight all attempts to
frustrate free and honest elections in Southwoods,” Sobrepeña said. “The
current management has worked very hard to establish Southwoods as one of the
best golf clubs with all the right processes in the country.”
Agustin said
Atuñez also took a temporary restraining order to prevent the latest board
election.
