MAYBE because of its nature, running, kinda makes you schizophrenic. You mean like this? Reallyreallyreally?  

ONE OF the two towing companies contracted by the Cebu City government to enforce the city's parking ordinances is fighting back against its critics. Rose Fe Pagador, proprietor of Road Warrior Towing and Motor Services, filed a motion to dismiss the court case filed by 10 individuals, lead by Tinago barangay councilor Joel Garganera, against the contract between City Hall and the towing companies. "Plaintiffs' complaint blankets allegations that are purely fabricated or concocted and distortions of t  

THE court yesterday denied a petition to temporarily stop the operation of towing companies in Cebu City. Judge Silvestre Maamo Jr. of the Regional Trial Court Branch 17 said in his dismissal of the petition that he did not see any urgent need to issue a temporary restraining order (TRO) against towing operations. Maamo said issuing a TRO would be tantamount to pre-judging the case and accepting the complainants' contention that the operations are illegal. He said this would be a reversal of the burde  

CEBU City Hall lawyers yesterday assailed the civil suit filed by a barangay councilor and nine others against Cebu City Mayor Tomas Osmeña and other officials relative to the City's towing operations. The complaint, they said, is tantamount to a "collateral attack" on the provisions of City Ordinance 2172 of the City Government, something that the mayor's critics have denied. A summary hearing on the civil case filed by Tinago Barangay Councilor Joel Garganera against Osmeña and six others was held y  

TWO urban poor leaders whom community organizations endorsed as candidates for Cebu City north district councilors yesterday said they are answerable to the people and not to any political party. Luz Barangay Captain Nida Cabrera and Alvin Dizon issued the statement in response to allegations they will just become "robots" if adopted by administration party Bando Osmeña Pundok Kauswagan (BOPK). At least 107 community and people's organizations presented them over 10,000 signatures yesterday, gathered

We respect the opinion of Joel Garganera. But I stand on my record of urban poor advocacy, which has been my advocacy for the last 17 years   -Alvin Dizon

 

LOCAL opposition figure Joel Garganera yesterday criticized Cebu City Mayor Tomas Osmeña for thinking that the Cebuanos will be scared by saying that chaos will happen if towing is stopped, after the Tinago barangay councilor and other car owners filed a case in court. He said the mayor is now saying he will obey the law, which Osmeña should have done from the start, instead of skirting the requirements in hiring Road Warriors Towing and Motor Services and One Stop Towing Service. Garganera said Osmeñ

He did not follow the procedure in procuring the towing service. Wala’y public bidding. Nihatag siya’g provisional authority bisan walay kontrata   -Joel Garganera

 

CEBU City Mayor Tomas Osmeña is ready to defend the City's towing operations in court, and warned of a traffic management breakdown if an injunction on the operations of private towing companies is granted. Osmeña said yesterday that he would follow the law should the court decide to stop the operations of the towing companies contracted by the City Government. The mayor said he anticipated the civil case filed by Tinago Barangay Councilor Joel Garganera and other vehicle owners.

Not only are you creating a mess, you’re also creating a hazard. In certain areas, dili makasud ang fire trucks, especially in areas where there’s overnight parking. What will happen? Mudako gyud ang sunog   -Tomas Osmena

 

Despite being in the opposition, Tinago barangay Councilor Joel Garganera said he could not help but admire the administration's new possible prospects for councilors in 2010. Garganera said that among those in the shortlist of Bando Osmeña – Pundok Kauswagan (BO-PK), he was most impressed with barangay captains Nida Cabrera of Luz and Jose Marino Benedicto of Zapatera, Department of Social Welfare and Development in Central Visayas (DSWD-7) information officer Jaybee Binghay-Carillo, and Alvin Dizon, wh  

About 10 people led by an opposition Cebu City barangay official sought a temporary restraining order (TRO) against two towing companies for allegedly operating illegally in the city yesterday. Barangay Tinago councilor Joel Garganera and the other complainants asked the Regional Trial Court to issue a writ of preliminary injunction against One Stop Towing Services and Road Warriors Towing and Motor Services. They also asked the court to prohibit the Cebu City Treasurer's Office from releasing funds o  

OPPOSITION figures in Cebu City would have wanted to join the mass at the Carmelite Monastery in honor of former president Corazon "Cory" Aquino, had Mayor Tomas Osmeña not canceled it over a comment allegedly made by an Archdiocese of Cebu official. The opposition figures instead joined a five-kilometer run early yesterday and donned yellow jerseys printed with Aquino's image and the words "Run for Cory." Among those who joined the run was Integrated Bar of the Philippines (IBP)-Province president Ra

Today is the ninth day of her death. It was fitting to start the day running as our way of sending her off   -Joel Garganera
