CEBU CITY, Philippines―The City Legal Office said that they will not allow former mayor Tomas Osmeña to continue with the “restoration” of the Mayor’s Office. Lawyer Rey Gealon, the city legal officer, said that Osmeña’s request is an “after thought” after the cases of theft and graft and corruption were filed against him before at the Office of the Ombudsman.
“Nakahuna-huna tingali ang kanhi mayor nga lig-un kaayo ang ebidensiya, ug gani pending naman diha sa buhatan sa Ombudsman ang atong gipasakang kasoIn the letter addressed to Cebu City Mayor Edgardo Labella, Osmeña noted that Gealon and City Administrator, Floro Casas Jr., were the reasons that the restoration is delayed.He said that none of the workers of Osmeña returned in the morning of July 29, which signifies that there really was no intention to restore the Mayor’s Office.
Gealon also noted that Osmeña’s previous statement to the media, which clearly states his intention to revert the office back to its 2001 condition, not its 2016 state, which now Osmeña claims to be his true intention.
