The Court of Appeals (CA) has dismissed Cebu City Mayor Tomas Osmeña’s petition to nullify the cityhood of Talisay. The court pointed out that the “belated action” raises questions as to its motive.
The 17-page decision penned by Associate Justice Apolinario D. Bruselas Jr. of the CA’s 18th Division, declared that Republic Act (RA) 8979, the law creating Talisay City, “does not suffer from any constitutional or statutory infirmities.”
An elated Talisay City Attorney Aurora Econg, who received the CA’s favorable ruling yesterday afternoon, declared: “It’s a triumph for all the Talisaynons. I have delivered to them what they expected from me as their city legal officer.”
