LEGAZPI CITY, (PNA) -– Albay Governor Joey Sarte Salceda was reelected chairperson of the Regional Development Council (RDC) of Bicol for a third term during the full council meeting Friday morning at the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) conference room in Barangay Rawis, this city.
