mayta naay special line murag txt mo complain sa mandaue.

Naa ni. Jonas mentioned nga naa tay hotline para complaints sa mga abusadong mga empelyado sa city hall

[quasimodo]

it's worth reminiscing as to what happened the whole week until the proclamation. grabe jud ang support sa mga tawo for jonas. alegre kaayo ang nahitabo sa proclamation. when the councilors were called one by one, the 8 councilors of the ouano slate received "boos" and jeers to the disbelief of the comelec official (gujilde). hahahaha. sorry na lang jud. di jud niya mapugngan ang mga tawo as to how they would feel at that moment.

when mayor jonas was called, sus, mora jud mahugno ang sports complex sa kasaba.

the week that was.... the people have spoken their mandate. and they spoke out loud and clear: ENOUGH WITH THE OUANOS!!!!

mayor jonas, we, the people of mandaue would not end our support on your proclamation. we know that you still have a mess to mend. so for now, the little thing that we could offer are our prayers for a better mandaue. it's not an overnight fix. ur not a God either but we understand that limitation. three years is quite short considering the mess the past administration has done but hopefully we could at least see an improvement. hopefully.... hopefully...

Cortes takes over as Mandaue mayor
By Aledel Gonzalez-Cuizon

JONAS Cabungcal Cortes officially gets to follow in the footsteps of his father and grandfather, after he was proclaimed the next mayor of Mandaue City last night.

With a commanding lead of more than 15,000 votes over his opponent, Thadeo Jovito “Jonkie” Ouano, Cortes is now the fifth mayor of Mandaue since it became a city in 1969.

Hours before the proclamation of winners in the May 14 elections, Ouano said in an interview that he already accepted defeat.

Suico makes a comeback at Mandaue council

AFTER almost 10 years away from public service, Diosdado Suico is coming back to the Mandaue City Council.

Elected with 48,371 votes, Suico is this year’s councilor who garnered the highest number of votes.

Suico said he didn’t aim to rank first, only that he wins as councilor because he wants to help the City, which he said has been “mismanaged.”

Suico told Sun.Star Cebu yesterday that he already has a list of things to do when he officially sits as councilor.

He plans to go over audit reports, project contracts and even ordinances on the naming of streets in the city.

“I don’t care if I get killed or if they make fun of me. I just want to do my job because the people voted for me to do that,” Suico said.

He was subjected to harsh criticism during the campaign period but he just shrugged it off.

He said that his critics are just afraid that he wins as councilor because if elected, he is able to uncover anomalies.

Mano Daddie is one of a kind. He's very active in church and government. I've never heard him curse or say anything bad against another person. Jonas, Elmer "boy" (mr. Pba) Cabahug, myself and mano daddies daughter were in elementary together. Respeto giod ko ni Mano Daddie.

I read the papers today and am glad that Mayor Jonas is prioritizing the inventory of personnel in City Hall. I repeatedly asked Jonkie about the 15-30 issue during the chat with the candidates sa sunstar. Na-human na lang, was jud ko respetari ug tubag ni Jonkie.

While the 15-30 issue sounds soooo karaan ug napuhalan sa bigger controversies of Teddy O, nonetheless, ako gi-ungkat for two reasons : 1. daku kaayo nga usik sa kwarta sa syudad, ug 2. Ang 15-30 mao ang political lifeblood sa mga Ouano. Diha jud nagsi-ugda ngano naka gamot sila.

My two cents worth of suggestion to Mayor Jonas : There are some companies in Mandaue who are in need of workers/employees. There are some of these 15-30 peeps who are qualified for honest to goodness positions. Maayo siguro na-ay committee to meet this demand and supply. At least, ma prioritize jud ang mga taga Mandaue sa mga trabaho nga avaiable sa syudad. At the same time, you can help them feed their respective families with honest and hard-earned money.

Kanus-a isunod ang dalan in front sa simbahan? That road leads directly to the east. One time, when i stepped out of the church door one early morning, timing mao sab ang pagsubang sa adlaw, direkta jud sa pultahan. But that was a long time ago before naka lingkod ang mga sigbin sa city hall.

Mayor Jonas, I look forward to watching the sunrise by the church door soon
