EXPLAINER: Where Jun Pe, 2 other MCWD ex-directors got it right: LWUA must OK mayor’s action. And got it wrong: Mayor had no right to fire them. Will they appeal RTC ruling?

Cebu

EXPLAINER: Barug Joy Pesquera, basing on committees and titles, is now the most influential Cebu City councilor. Opposition BOPKs Mary Ann de los Santos and Jose Abellanosa are given, surprise, committee membership.

October 05, 2023

Cebu

EXPLAINER: Mayor Rama's alleged 'brokering' to privatize MCWD may show motive in sacking Daluz, 2 directors. But it's not evidence the complaints against them are false. Still privatization is a crucial issue to MCWD consumers, which needs to be discussed openly, fully.

EXPLAINER: How old was Juana Osmeña when she gave birth to Sergio Osmeña Sr.: 14, 16 or 20? Other takeaways from 'Big Reveal': father of Cebu's Grand Old man was Antonio Sanson who, Tomas Osmeña says, could've been convicted of statutory rape. Juana 'must have inspired' single moms.

EXPLAINER: Sto. Niño vestment on children ‘an expression of faith.’ Apparently not if worn by a Bb. Pilipinas beauty contestant posturing as a boy child. Augustinian friars remind Catholic devotees on ‘appropriateness of actions, with reverence, respect.’

October 05, 2023

Cebu

EXPLAINER: Cebu Provincial Board ordinance requires national agencies to consult Capitol on national projects and secure PB’s prior approval. Sec. 27 of Local Government Code explicitly supports LGU power. Problem could be bigger than DOJ chief Remulla first thought.

October 05, 2023

Cebu

EXPLAINER: Cebu City’s FOI ordinance needs only to have a list of exceptions. Unimplemented local law doesn’t have to be overhauled. World Press Freedom Day forum identified causes of delay in completing work of City Council, mayor.

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.

October 05, 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.

October 05, 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.’

RIGHTS OF PASSAGE. A bill of rights for air passengers will not force airline companies to prioritize the welfare of their passengers over the bottom line of survival and profitability. A sense of social responsibility is needed to rein in the corporate greed that rationalizes overbooking, offloading, flight delays, and other irregularities affecting air travel. / File photo
