BSL’s ‘gag’ order
stays
Department heads continue to
snub council
THE RELATIONSHIP between the Mayor’s Office and the
Sangguniang Panlungsod continues to be strained despite
earlier assurances of cooperation between them by Mayor
Benjamin Lim and Vice Mayor Belen Fernandez.
Last week,
department heads again snubbed the invitations by the
city council to appear except for two who attended a
session just to defend the request of Mayor Benjamin Lim
for a P7.2 million supplemental budget.

Mayor’s libel case
vs. PUNCH dismissed
TO be considered malicious, the libelous
statements must be shown to have been written with the
knowledge that they are false or in reckless disregard
of whether they are false or not.
With this as a
guiding principle, the City Prosecutor’s Office has
dismissed the libel
complaint against editors and staff
of The Sunday PUNCH filed by San Carlos City Mayor
Julier Resuello. |
PLAYING
WITH FIRE
Hug RP when you are
in India
By
Gonzalo Duque
WE missed the deadline for our column
last week due to a hectic schedule that brought us to
the mystic country of India.
You must have heard
a lot about that big country, which is second only to
the People's Republic of China in population. China has
l. 6 billion, while India has l.2 billion. The
Philippines has close to 100 million. Walang sinabi. |
Non-biodegradable
wastes to be banned in city
JUST as Dagupan City faces a worsening
garbage disposal crisis, two councilors have proposed
ordinances that will hopefully help reduce
non-biodegradable wastes in the city.
Councilor Jesus Canto, head of the committee on health,
filed a draft ordinance banning the sale and/or use of
plastic and styrofoam packaging materials and kitchen
utensils in the city.
