SunStar Seares: Public issue in Councilor Mabatid’s private dance: Can public officials not behave like ordinary people?
+ May 15, 2021 A VIDEO of Cebu City Councilor Prisca Nina Mabatid dancing with an unidentified man in a party went viral last week, prompting mixed reactions from internet users, some of whom criticized the dancing as erotic, scandalous and unbecoming of a councilor who heads the Sanggunian committee on women and children and a would-be congresswoman – and the activity as breach of pandemic protocol.
ALLEGED THEFT, BRIBE. Last Thursday, May 13, Mabatid struck back in live video on her Facebook page: The dance video was “stolen,” she charged, by her secretary who was paid by BOPK, and posted by a chat group supporting that local party. She presented no evidence of the alleged theft and alleged bribe. Mabatid belongs to Barug, dominant party at City Hall and BOPK’s rival.

Mabatid said an “ungo” or witch was actually running affairs in the city government, deciding on purchases of anti-Covid supplies and hiring and firing of employees. The figurative use of witchery suggested the councilor’s impression that the alleged villain looks like a witch and probably exhibits as much greed on his prey.
