With only three councilors from the opposition voting against it and one councilor abstaining from voting, the majority of the council successfully passed the historic P51.4 annual budget for 2023 of the Cebu City government.“Challenging but fulfilling.” This was how Rama described his first few months as mayor after winning the election last May 2022.
Rama secured 239,656 votes to win against BOPK’s Margarita Osmeña , while Vice Mayor Raymond Garcia won by landslide with 283,235 votes, beating BOPK’s Franklyn Ong and independent candidate Francisco “Bimbo” Fernandez .In his speech, Rama encouraged all the city’s stakeholders to help realize his dream of making Cebu City a highly developed city like Singapore.
As of now, the executive and legislative departments of city hall agreed on a tax rate revision on real property taxes and business taxes, but the latter is pushing for the staggered implementation of the proposed rates so it would not be “excessive and oppressive” for its constituents.Three weeks into August this year, Rama created the ‘Task Force Gubat sa Baha,’ a special task force to address the city’s severe flooding problem.
Under this EO, the wearing of a face mask in open spaces in the city is no longer required starting Thursday, Sept. 1, 2022. This amount covered the city’s last semi-annual amortization amounting to P145,631,585.45 that was paid on Aug. 19 and its loan balance of P759,267,020.82 that was due and paid on Aug. 23.
