The Bacolod City Government sincerely condoles with the family of Atty. Allan Zamora, City Legal Officer, who passed away yesterday morning, March 5.

Mayor Evelio Leonardia said that Atty. Zamora’s sudden demise is a tragic loss not only to the City Government but the whole of Bacolod City as he was a brilliant lawyer who had the heart of a champion.

“He was one of a kind,” the mayor said.

“He was a very valuable public servant, and it would be difficult to find anyone who will fill in his shoes,” the mayor added.
Atty. Zamora was also a gentle, courteous and honest friend not only to Mayor Leonardia but to many others.

“He was a devoted husband and loving father,” Leonardia stressed, adding that “he was one of the most respectful persons I have ever met and he was such a good manager and at the same time a good soldier.”

“Though we are bidding him goodbye, he has left an indelible mark in the City Government and for that he will live on in the hearts and minds of his friends and colleagues,” Leonardia said.

“We also thank him for all the years of quality service that he had rendered to Bacolod City,” Leonardia added.

Atty. Zamora started his career in the City Government of Bacolod in 1986 as City Administrator and held the position of City Legal Officer in 2000 to 2001, and in 2004 to the present.

Atty. Zamora is survived by his wife Ruth and children Rulan Acero, Allyn Rose, Allan Jr., Allyn Luv, Zoe Anne, Cheryl Katherine and Allan III. He passed away at the age of 57.

Leonardia will be signing an executive order today urging all City Government offices’ flags to be flown at half mast.*
