City mayors don’t want Cha-cha – Abalos

-

 Mandaluyong City Mayor Benjamin Abalos Jr. assured the public yesterday that local government executives will not play a key role in the pursuit of Charter change during the Arroyo administration.

“The Cha-cha issue is long been dead as it has already been rejected. Let’s just forget about it,” said Abalos, who was interviewed while celebrating his 45th birthday with informal settlers at the Welfareville compound, which was leveled by fire early this year.

“What we need now is to focus our effort in strengthening the city governments, regardless of their party affiliations and regions,” he added.

Abalos is running unopposed as president of the League of City Mayors, whose members will elect their new set of officers at the Traders Hotel in Pasay City soon.
