EXPLAINER: Tax increases, P50 billion budget aimed to make Cebu City Singapore-like. President Marcos Jr. told the mayor, ‘Mike, you’re ambitious.’ It’s called vision, says Castillo. With a price tag: higher taxes on real properties, business, services.

December 01, 2022

Cebu

EXPLAINER: Mayor Mike Rama's rep Jerone Castillo argues the huge realty tax increase won't exceed legal limit. But bulky tax burden all at once can be like sledgehammer on some taxpayers. Rama's mission to make the city 'Singapore-like' is the excuse. 'Hinay-hinay lang,' councilors caution.

EXPLAINER: Councilor de los Santos changes word 'punish' to 'charge' in proposed grant of contempt power to City Council. But ordinance seeks to punish disobedience to Sanggunian subpoenas, which Supreme Court ruling says local legislatures cannot do.

Cebu

EXPLAINER: Richard Yap-vs-Niña Mabatid case is not your ordinary cyber-libel. Venue is major takeaway: Ex-city councilor sued in Taguig by entertainer-politician when offense was committed in Cebu. And alleged defamatory posts were done during political campaign.
