March 27, 2023

Cebu

EXPLAINER: Hazing death of student raises questions on responsibilities of Cebu school under amended law. Secrecy shrouded Dec. 10 hazing, causing failure to treat victim and delay of investigation.

March 28, 2023

Cebu

EXPLAINER: Why Sandiganbayan rejected Ronda town treasurer’s defense that the mayor coerced him on illegal P2.063M cash advances and he didn’t get a centavo from disbursements. Anti-graft court asks accountable officials to be courageous, not fearful.

March 28, 2023

Cebu

EXPLAINER: Is face-mask wearing in Cebu City over? Still voluntary. In schools, businesses, most public spaces, with owner/manager/head of office as decider on rule and enforcement. No official declaration of end to anti-Covid masks although Mayor Mike’s EO expired last December 31.

March 28, 2023

Cebu

EXPLAINER: How they killed Kons Mary Ann’s attempt to override Mayor Mike’s veto of her ordinance granting City Council the power of subpoena and contempt. 12 councilors, who earlier supported it, abstained. Kons Joy Young wondered ‘why we can’t fight the mayor for our right.’

March 28, 2023

Cebu

EXPLAINER: Disagreement on Sinulog parade site threatens 'One Cebu Island' theme of festivity. Guv Gwen says Mayor Mike's SRP choice is ill-timed and may cause serious problems, notes that the mayor hadn't consulted other LGUs.

Cebu

EXPLAINER: 'Liturgical' dancing banned by Vatican as a rule. Would that ala-TikTok show in Danao City church fall under exception? Two Archdiocese officials split on whether priest must be sanctioned.

March 28, 2023

Cebu

EXPLAINER: A colossal P51.45B budget for Cebu City in 2023. Is City Council humoring Mayor Rama? We’re giving him ‘benefit of the doubt,’ says Kons Wenceslao. Controls will guard against deficit spending, he says.

March 28, 2023

Cebu

EXPLAINER: Cebu City Council power of contempt won’t be like how Congress wields it. But Sanggunian, under the approved de los Santos ordinance, can look into almost anything ‘in aid of legislation,’ expanding its power to investigate under the City Charter

March 28, 2023

Cebu

EXPLAINER: Cebu City Council risks challenge in court on Kons Mary Ann de los Santos ordinance granting itself power of contempt. First in the country, says Kons Rey Gealon.

March 28, 2023
