In a message on Wednesday night, city council information officer Jordan Habbiling said the members of the legislative branch are looking for possible appointments at the vice mayor's office which is allowed under the rules to appoint the same employees and designate them to the offices of the councilors. He said the other possible option is a modification of their employment status to casual. The most urgent remedy which was done through the city's Human Resource Management Office was an appeal to the Civil Service Commission (CSC), which flagged the city government for having 31 employees holding plantilla positions but have not been appointed as permanent employees under the offices of the elected officials an act which is not allowed under the rules. Habbiling said the CSC-Baguio wrote Vice Mayor Faustino Olowan

During the forum, it was revealed that the antenna tower is in a high-density residential area as classified by the City Planning and Development Office (CPDO) which is allowed only in areas classified as utility zones. He said the tower is for the use of the DITO Telecommunity Corp. (DITO) which was also found to have not obtained a location clearance before constructing the cellular tower.
