1. You’re known as the architect of Ceboom, when Cebu’s economic strides first caught the attention of the nation and the world. Much of what Cebu is today economically may be credited in a large part to the foundations laid when you were governor of the province. Do you see Cebu’s growth to continue or do you see the threat of a bubble bursting, such as the collapse of the call center industry and oversupply of condos, hotels, and other housing units? Tell us how Cebu can still survive and prosper despite any turmoil in the economy elsewhere.

Cebu City (CNN Philippines, April 20) A police officer being investigated for alleged rape and extortion took his own life on Monday, hours after his female accuser was fatally shot in Cebu City.

She also filed criminal complaints against Colita and 10 other police officers assigned to the Sawang Calero Police precinct for extorting ₱170,000 from her.
The complainant also claimed the policemen tortured arrested suspects in a secret detention cell inside the precinct.

SunStar January 13, 2021 Again? In the dying months of the Duterte administration? The move is widely criticized. I join the chorus who are against the move to change the charter. Why so suddenly charter change became high in the menu of congress? Bad timing again, may I say so. I am emphatic here. Why ask people to consider charter change when the country is still gripped with fear because of the spreading coronavirus? Besides many sectors are apprehensive that beyond what is being promised that only the party list system and economic provisions will be introduced, the none gullible among us quickly disagreed. Sorry to say but credibility of congress is exceedingly low. Who can stop them from postponing the 2022 elections once the cha cha moves start? Once plenary debates will start, everything goes.
