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.

February 01, 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.’

February 01, 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.

February 01, 2023

Cebu

EXPLAINER: Where Ombudsman lawyers failed in three charges against Dumanjug, Cebu Mayor Gungun Gica over 2014 'falsified' restaurant receipt. Prosecutors lost in Sandiganbayan despite certification of Ding Qua Qua manager and COA disallowance.

February 01, 2023

Cebu

EXPLAINER: Where’s Aloguinsan, Cebu ex-mayor Cynthia Moreno? Has she been brought before Sandiganbayan, which issued at least two warrants for her arrest? Last news, in November, about Moreno: SC rejected her request for house arrest.

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.

February 01, 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.

February 01, 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

February 01, 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.

February 01, 2023

Cebu

EXPLAINER: Lapu-Lapu ex-mayor Arturo Radaza argued he had no part in awarding P83.9M streetlamps contract and the government didn't suffer loss or injury. Sandiganbayan struck down his defenses.

February 01, 2023

Cebu

EXPLAINER: Public hearing on Cebu City budget spotlights Sanggunian dilemma: screen expenses or raise taxes first. On P50 billion 2023 outlay, Vice Mayor Garcia says, 'So what?' Risky for treasurer, bad for City Council, say Councilors Pesquera, Archival.

February 01, 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.
