THERE are much better ways to address the housing problem in Cagayan de Oro than City Hall's controversial P1-per-lot program or "piso-piso," an officer of the local housing sector said.  

THE opposition bloc dared City Hall Monday to investigate Vice Mayor Vicente Emano's 110 absences as presiding officer of the City Council, if only to show that it is not singling out those who are not administration allies. "We're not even challenging them to suspend the vice mayor outright, just as they railroaded the suspension of an opposition supporter; we just want them to investigate their own—if they really have the gumption to do it," said Councilor Teodulfo Lao, leader of the minority bloc in t

It is the height of hypocrisy that the vice mayor is exempted from investigations, when the blue ribbon committee is tasked with investigating the accountability of Council members and officials in the barangay   -Roger Abaday

The speculations surfaced after Neric Acosta, Liberal Party vice president for Mindanao, said Thursday that Mayor Constantino Jaraula and Vice Mayor Vicente Emano were to attend a gathering of local officials in Davao City to "support" Senator Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino's presidential bid. An official of the ruling PaDayo

The media are rife with grim scenarios of "no-election" or "failure of election" should the automation program encounter problems. The question being asked is, if by June 30, 2010 no president is proclaimed, who'll head the country? Fears are being stoked about a military takeover or President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo extending her term.

PRIVATE hospitals in Cagayan de Oro are only waiting for directive from their mother organizations in Manila before imposing a 10 percent increase on administrative fees. This was according to Annie Salcedo, administrator of the Cagayan de Oro Maternity and Children's Hospital and Puericulture Center (CMCHPC), following a decision by the Private Hospitals Association of the Philippines (PHAP) to raise fees to recover supposed losses from a 50 percent slash in prices of 21 medicines.
