CEBU CITY, Philippines—Cebu City Councilor Jocelyn Pesquera, the majority floor leader, called on all Cebu City constituents to actively participate in the ongoing public hearing on the ordinance

“I am just encouraging all constituents to please send all your comments and opposition para g’yod ni maklaro g’yod sa mga tawo ug maklaro sad sa administration ni Mayor Rama nga ni oppose ang mga tawo,” the councilor said during the public hearing on Monday, November 21, 2022.

“On our end, we conducted our work. We extended our due diligence. We listened to them. We required them to submit a position paper, nag meeting pa jud ta. Wa man ni nakit-an nga area,” he said. He said that the barangays were optimistic because they understand that with the proposed revision in the tax code, they get 30 percent of the 2/3 of the real property taxes, which means they would not anymore need to request additional funding from the city to implement their programs.

“Do you have a record that they agreed? Who were in attendance, because we will send it to their barangays, and then if this will be approved, then we will let the people there that their barangay captains agreed for the increase in taxes,” she said. “Wala man sad ta moingon nga di ta mo submit sa tingog. This is a deliberative process, but we are telling you on our end that before we did these things we conducted due diligence because it is incumbent upon the executive to do his homework before he submits his legislation,” Castillo responded.Meanwhile, Councilor Mary Ann de los Santos has asked the City Treasurer’s Office and the City Assessor’s Office for a collection report of the city from 2021 up to 2022.
