TAGBILARAN CITY—A day after scolding mayors in Bohol for being unprepared to implement rehabilitation projects despite the availability of funds, Local Government Secretary Manuel “Mar†Roxas II got an earful from one mayor who blamed the presumptive Liberal Party presidential candidate instead.
Roxas, said Maribojoc Mayor Leoncio Evasco Jr., “should not blame the mayors.â€
Evasco was defending mayors of two other towns in Bohol—Clarin and Sagbayan—who were scolded by Roxas at a meeting of the provincial disaster risk reduction and management council here on Wednesday.
Roxas was angry at the mayors for failing to submit their programs of works and estimates that details how they planned to carry out rehabilitation plans.
Evasco, who styles himself as a no-nonsense official like his friend Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte, said Roxas should scold himself.
