It was unrealistic and acted like the city has unlimited source of money. You might want to show proof on how did he came up with those bogus figures and where does he intent to get the budget for it because he didn't prove anything at all.
Allocating the budget for basic services such as salary for employees is an accounting 101 matter.
And yes, it should have been kept safe for the people and not spent on some other activity that Rama favors thinking he always has a blank check. If you think that growth was not considered, the mayor and his office should have made that argument long before, but didn't he?
I would suggest not to judge the book by it's title but seek out the details.
Dali ra kaayo ma ilad ang mga tao because Rama is positioning himself as if his actions are for the people but again, transparency is a big concern for his administration.
If you can help provide facts, I would be grateful and even encourage others that Rama is not only the KTV queen but a real man/mayor
All I talked about was none collection of garbage due to lack of budget, not the whole budget. Let's look at the facts about the budget for garbage collection. An original budget of approximately P127M was asked for. The minions of Tomas only approved 51M knowing full well that the amount would only last a few months. Why would they do that? So of course, when that money ran out, another budget was proposed. Again, about P51M was approved despite knowing that is was still not enough. Karon, hurot na pud. Yet another budget was asked for, along with other items, in the latest supplemental budget. In the first place, if they approved the original proposed budget for garbage collection, this whole problem could or may have been avoided. Secondly, in the latest proposed supplemental budget, the minions of Tomas could have just approved the part of the budget to be used for payment of our garbage collection. Garbage collection is a basic service we are all entitled to since we are taxpayers. It should not be politicized like Tomas is doing. Make no mistake about it Tomas Osmeņa is the cause of the none collection of garbage in Cebu City right now. He is a hypocrite of the biggest order.
While Rama is not exactly perfect and has many weaknesses like that shameful karaoke singing of his, Rama has always done his best to provide us all the basic services we are entitled to. I don't know where Rama got his figures for the city budget, but I would guess that whatever figure he needed, he increased it substantially knowing that the unfriendly city council would slash it by at least half. Kauban baya sila ni Tommy sa una so he knows how Tommy works.
