Winston hits back at Mayor Osmeña

GOVERNMENT Service Insurance System (GSIS) President Winston Garcia lashed back at Cebu City Mayor Tomas Osmeña over the weekend, saying he is “more Cebuano� than the mayor.

This Winston said after the mayor tagged him a “hypocrite� for residing in a city that the Garcias criticized as just the “20th most livable� among Philippine cities.

“I could be wrong, but I do not think Tomas was born in Cebu. He did not study college in Cebu, and he was nowhere to be found in Cebu during the difficult years of Martial law. He abandoned Cebu, then,� Winston told Sun.Star Cebu.

The Osmeñas went into exile in the US when former president Ferdinand Marcos declared Martial Law and staged a crackdown against his political enemies.

He left

The mayor’s brother, former senator Sergio Osmeña III got imprisoned and escaped with Eugenio Lopez, whose family owns television network ABS-CBN.

“So who is the hypocrite now? When he, Tomas Osmeña, left Cebu when times were hard, whereas I am sticking it out in Cebu even if the mayor has made the city now just the 20th most livable city,� Winston said.

Business magazine MoneySense this year ranked Cebu City as the 20th city in the list of “Best Places to Live,� with the cities of Bacolod, Makati, Davao, Marikina and Iloilo being named the top five.

The Philippine Human Development Report of the Human Development Network and the United Nations Development Programme and the Philippine Cities Competitiveness Ranking Project (PCCRP) of the Asian Institute of Management (AIM) Policy Center were used as basis of the new list.

Raymond, Winston’s nephew, the other day said that when his father Alvin was mayor, Cebu City was fourth and then seventh most livable city in Asia.

Winston said that he was “more Cebuano� than Mayor Osmeña because he was born, studied in, and got married in Cebu City.

His children, he said, were baptized in Cebu City, and until his Manila assignment, he has always lived here.

Winston argued that he has every right to question the way Osmeña made a “mess� of Cebu City.

Winston also took exception to Osmeña’s statement that he cannot run for senator because he has many enemies, particularly those who lost their pensions when he took over as GSIS president and general manager.

Not running

“Why is he encouraging me to run for senator? I’m not running for any elective office, not for senator, not for anything,� he said.

He clarified that after doing some housekeeping, he only removed the pensions of those who are not entitled to them.

The mayor, on the other hand, gave “very little, if at all� to City Hall employees who are entitled to bonuses because City revenues were diverted to paying its huge foreign debt, he said. (RHM/From a report)


Bisag kinsang pang Garcia-ha diha... patabanga na sila tanan. hehe. Bitaw, Winston I think hits the bullseye. Bisag pustahan mag Martial Law ug balik, mosibat na sad na si Tomas. Balik lang na ug linaw na.

Osmeña said he has no intention of stopping the Garcias from running.

“I analyze what they are saying. They have (Aristotle) Batuhan, they have (Lahug Barangay Captain) Mary Ann (delos Santos), and they have (former sports commissioner Jonathan) Guardo, (former mayor) Alvin (Garcia), (his son) Raymond (Garcia). These are all recycled losers, Cebuanos do not like recycled losers. We are pro-environment but this is too much,� said Osmeña.

However, the mayor admits that he likes their attitude.

Osmeña said it was good to see those who ran in last year’s elections being satisfied with landing second place.

“Like Alvin Garcia, ‘I almost won!’ Very Good, do it again. Almost win again. These are the best kind of opponents to have, people are happy coming out second place. Guardo was also second place, good,� he said.

LOL.

i love Tommy's sarcasm!

Bro, bisan lumpungon pa na sila tanan diha mga Garcia wa na silay bawt ni Sultan Tomas. Pero personally bro ug dunay chance modagan si Tomas balik dili nasad ko mobotar niya kay morag SRP naman lang iyang gihunahuna pirme. Dako siguro sya stake diha inig di na sya mamayor.

[akokil]

Bro wasad koy botahan ana nila mga garcia. Mangita ko ug kanang bag-o kay sa panahon ni alvin wa sad gyuy ayo. Iya ra sad mga negosyo gihunahuna. Iyahay lang na sila ug dautay. Pero ug tongpats bro, ang makapabor ana way lain si Sultan Tomas kay kinsa man ruy nagdala ana sa mga negosasyon di ba si Tommy boy man?

Asa man paingon ang banda ana bro ari man gyud sa galingkud. Kana siguro ug maabtan na nga dili mahalin unya madesgrasya makalingkud ang usa ka Garcia adtu sad tongpats niya. Pero karon maninguha sad si Tommy boy nga mahalin before cya mawa sa gahum kay lisud na gud pag negotiate unya ug lain na mayor.

Ug ako ron dakung businessman syempre mo "accomodate" sad ko ug mga influential nga tawo sa akong business labi na ug duna silay natabang nako. Ingon ana lang siguro na bro. I'll scratch your back, you scratch mine. Mao nga one of the big boys unya sa business circle diha sa SRP is no other than Tommy boy bisan dili na siya Mayor. Pero he deserves that kay naghago sad siya. Ang ako lang kay morag cancer ba. Naa na sa denial stage nga ika 20 nalang ang Cebu sa livability matinuod man o di. But for me tinuod kay bisag asa ka karon mangita ug maayong road diinhi sa Cebu except SRP wa man dyud. Mao nga sa infrastrucure lang daan, hagbong na.
