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.’

February 09, 2023

Cebu

EXPLAINER: Questions the Cebu City Council must address before passing Jun Alcover ordinance on 'tartanillas' and 'kutseros.' City to spend P1M a year for horses’ meds. Industry is dying, notes Joy Young.
