Valenzuela Mayor Sherwin "Win" Gatchalian thanked the council for setting aside politics and personal interests and putting those of the public above all in approving the original budget.


The City Council, for its part, expressed satisfaction that the impasse has been broken and the good of the greater number of the people assured.
