The Office of the Ombudsman is set to hold a preliminary hearing on the complaints against the officials involved in the Mabalacat City government center project on January 31
Some lawmakers seem to make moves that negate the normal run to progress of a local government unit (LGU). In a collegial body such as the Sangguniang Bayan or Panlungsod, lawmakers participate in the deliberations on the crafting of ordinances or resolutions where a votation takes place on whether an issue be passed or blocked. So, if one signed willingly to approve the ordinance or resolution, he is estopped from claiming that the matters contained in these issuances are not legal or above board. He did sign, didn’t he? Then why cry “wolf” afterwards? This type of lawmaker does not contribute to progress of a town or city. As a sour graper, he stands alone from the collegial body taking a negative stance on issues he himself approved prior. Such is the sad story at the Sangguniang Panlungsod of Mabalacat City.
