CEBU CITY, Philippines – After his lawyers announced last Friday, November 8, that Michael Rama was back as Cebu City mayor, he was a no-show at a tightly-guarded city hall despite hints he would make his appearance during the flag ceremony on Monday, November 11. “It’s business as usual. Please come to city hall and conduct your business,” Garcia said in a press conference after the flag ceremony this morning. He told city hall employees to “please focus on your job.”
At the city hall, the Cebu City mayor’s office was locked and police officers were clearly visible in the area. It’s a crime scene, said Garcia.while he was inside the mayor’s office. Cebu City police chief Antonietto Cañete, who is a lawyer, led the arrest. Cañete said the warrantless arrest for usurpation of authority was valid because of the complaints by city officials and the fact that Rosell signed a memorandum as city administrator.
