CEBU City Mayor Michael Rama’s first 100 days report covers his administration’s success in getting investments for new projects and the realization of his campaign promises towards his Singapore-like vision for Cebu City.

Rama, on Monday, October 3, 2022, also highlighted the City Government’s campaign against flooding, which resulted in the clearing of illegal structures built within the three-meter easement of waterways.

The mayor also renewed his call for unity so he could achieve his dream for the city.

“I am not looking for a BOPK (Bando Osmeña Pundok Kauswagan), Kusug (Kugi Uswag Sugbo), (Partido) Panaghiusa, the Labella group, the Team Rama group, none. I have my marching order. We have a mission and the mission (is) Singapore-like Cebu City, no political colors,” he said.

Rama also said that he will sit down with South District Representative Eduardo Rama and North District Representative Rachel Del Mar to ensure that their projects will be in line with the City Government’s thrust. (IRT, PJB)
