IN HIGH DUDGEON. Binmaley Mayor Pete Merrera (extreme left) calls a press conference again and rebukes the Committee on Appropriation headed by Councilor Buday Cagaoan in their procrastination to approve the P71 million supplemental budget badly needed by the local government unit and its constituents.
Despite the support of the six councilors - who are mostly allied with Merrera's nemesis Vice Mayor Sam Rosario - who feared the backlash on their political career in the 2025 election by the angy Binmalaneans, the Committee on Appropriation despite its few numbers seems to hostage the budget being requested by Merrera. The Mayor is anxious that the inaction of Councilor Cagaoan and collegues would prejudice the budget because of the election ban on projects on September 15 to October 30 this year as imposed by Commission on Election on the October 30 Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan Election.
The ban is on the release, disbursement, or expenditure of public funds for social welfare projects, construction of public works, and delivery of materials for public works.
