Councilor challenges vice mayor: Do a 'Friday massacre'
By Aurea A. Gerundio
DAVAO City Councilor Bonifacio E. Militar Monday challenged Vice Mayor Luis C. Bonguyan to take up the challenge of Mayor Rodrigo R. Duterte and clean the City Council of corruption.
In his radio program "Ato 'ni Bay" last Sunday, Duterte called on the council to do their part as he had already overhauled two City Hall offices reported to be the most corrupt.
Duterte overhauled the local civil registry and the business bureau from its chief down to the lowest ranking employee last Friday in a move he calls the "Friday massacre".
"Nakakahiya. The leadership should initiate kung naapektuhan siya sa statement ni Mayor," Militar said referring to Bonguyan, adding that he would not discount the possibility of a revamp at the City Council.
If there will still be no actions taken despite the mayor's call, then Militar said a group of independent-minded people in the council should take the move.
"We have to be concerned with the integrity of the institution," Militar said.
