    Angry Why is Mandaue not a lone congressional district?


    Mandaue to ask House to act on bill

    MANDAUE City barangay captains will ask the House of Representatives
    to act on the City's lone district bid after Lapu-Lapu City's move
    reached the Senate even if it only gained its highly urbanized status
    recently.

    Mandaue City Mayor Jonas Cortes blamed Rep. Nerissa Soon-Ruiz (Cebu
    Province, 6th district) for not working on Mandaue City's bill, but
    acted swiftly on Lapu-Lapu City's.

    Ruiz's chief of staff denied the allegation.

    Cortes said 24 out of 27 barangay captains will ask the House to act
    on the bill. He said they will also ask Ruiz to explain why she opted
    to work on Lapu-Lapu City's lone district bid and left Mandaue's bill
    to "gather dust."

    He said Mandaue City's 318,575 residents could have "solely" enjoyed
    the P630 million worth of Ruiz's Philippine
    Development Assistance Fund (PDAF) for three terms had it become a
    lone district, assuming that the P70 million per year PDAF remains the
    same for nine years.

    Representation

    Mandaue shares Ruiz's PDAF with Consolacion, Cordova and Lapu-Lapu City.

    Cortes asked Ruiz where her love for the Mandauehanons is.

    "We are not only underrepresented, we are misrepresented," Cortes said.

    But Atty. Gonzalo Malig-on, Ruiz's chief of staff, said this is not true.

    He said that the present move, to make Lapu-Lapu City a lone district,
    is just an off-shoot of the original bill, which is favorable to
    Mandaue City.

    He said Mandaue's unique charter character, similar to Consolacion's
    and Cordova's town where residents can vote for provincial officials,
    makes it more realistic to lump the city with the two other towns as
    one district and Lapu-Lapu City as another district.

    If they petition the House for Mandaue City's lone district bid they
    will support the move, said Malig-on.

    Municipalities

    "But what will happen to Cordova and Consolacion? Will the House allow
    the two to stand as a district when other congressmen in some parts of
    the country are holding 15 municipalities in their district?" Malig-on
    said.

    He said that there is a need for a redistricting in Cebu, but some
    congressmen are not ready for that.

    Initially, the plan was for a lone district each for Lapu-Lapu and
    Mandaue cities plus another district composed of Consolacion, Cordova
    and two other towns in the fifth fistrict. But the Duranos refused to
    part with some of their towns, said Malig-on.

    He said some congressmen are not comfortable redistricting Cebu as the
    move entails additional campaign expenses, redistribution of district
    resources and organizing new political leaders and letting go of good
    leaders.

    He said Ruiz planned to divide her district but it ended up that way,
    as some congressmen feel this is more realistic and fitting to each of
    local government units' special character.

    He said the present arrangement is an offshoot of an original bill
    grouping together Lapu-Lapu City and Cordova town as one district;
    Mandaue City and Consolacion town as another district. (OCP)

    Default Congress na si Nerry sa 1991?

    According to reports, 1991 pa na met sa Mandaue ang requirements para mahimong Lone Congressional District. Hangtod karon after 18 years in congress wa gihapon ma Lone District ang Mandaue.

    Mag Lone Ranger nalang ta ani.

    Leader man kuno ni si Nerry sa Irresponsible Opposition (IrO) sa Mandaue.

    dili kaayo ko suhito ani mao mo ask una ko if kinsa naay knowledge ani. Unsa man benefit makuha sa usa ka city if mahimo nga lone congressional district gawas nga modako ang iya budget nga makuha from national?

    Ang ako lang nalibugan ani ngano nga wala ni support si Congresswoman Nerry sa mandaue unya sa Lapu-lapu daw kay ni support. If tinuod ni paeta gyud sa politics sa, i-sakripisyo gyud ang dakbayan para lang sa mga personal nga mga interest.

    Only Congress can push for district

    CEBUCITY, Philippines – Representative Nerissa Soon-Ruiz (Cebu, 6thdistrict) on Tuesday advised Mandaue City Mayor Jonas Cortes and hisallied barangay (village) captains not to push through with their planto file a petition asking Congress to prioritize moves to make the cityits own congressional district, lest they be laughed at for ignorance.

    Soon-Ruiz said only a legislator could do what Cortes wants to be done.But since Mandaue City is under the 6th district, no other legislatorbut her can support it.

    "Who's going to file it? Nobody's going to sponsor that, not even our neighboring congressmen," Soon-Ruiz said.

    Soon-Ruiz said there is already a pending bill seeking to create acongressional district for Mandaue City. The bill has not moved in theSenate since November last year after some senators raised objections.

    She said that the actions of Cortes and his allies could give theimpression that the city's elected officials do not know what they aredoing.

    "It would be embarrassing to say that the mayor ofMandaue is ignorant. Mandaue is so big. Mandaue is so wealthy. Yet itsofficials are so ignorant. It would be funny," she said.

    The congresswoman said that while the bill for Mandaue is stuck inthe Senate, she consulted other Cebuano lawmakers. They agreed that itwould be better to push for the creation of a congressional districtfor Lapu-Lapu City.

    She said there were many factors put intoconsideration. Among them were concerns about neighboring localitiesand the fact that Mandaue, despite being highly urbanized, is stillpart of Cebu province, unlike Lapu-Lapu. /With a report by Correspondent Chris A. Ligan

    yes Bro na datu si nerry.

    her net assets since 2003 has increased by more than 1,000 % up to 2008. Thats only 5 years Bro.

    That would come out 200 % per year of public service. Better than the banks' return of investment !

    And she's been office for more than 16 years !

    Apil tingali ko aning negosyoha Bro !
