The city mayor did not specify any reason for his leave of absence other than he is going to fly to Metro Manila.
"Gusto nyo lang marinig na magpa check-up ako, gasgas na excuse na yan," he told media workers.
Since January this year, the city mayor has been repeatedly taking a leave of absence on varied durations and for numerous reasons, starting with his indefinite leave as the Commission on Audit was conducting their investigation on the alleged overpricing in the construction of the People's Park.
Other leave of absences were mostly for health purposes. (CPM)
