Now the men will be separated from the boys!
City Mayor Dan Neri Lim declared yesterday his willingness to engage former OIC Governor Victor dela Serna in a public debate on various issues.
“Okay. Let’s debate,†Mayor Lim said.
As to the details and topics, he said it’s up to them (bahala sila).
The city mayor was not specific this time, unlike his earlier challenges for a debate on any issue, anywhere.
In answer to his challenge, the topnotch lawyer De la Serna also called on the mayor to name the place, time and venue of the debate.
The public wants the two to exchange views on air live in any local radio program.
De la Serna is expected to challenge the City Mayor on the “buy-back†issue of the twin public utilities of electric power and water now owned by Salcon.
De la Serna has repeatedly reminded the City Mayor on his earlier pronouncements during his first term that he will initiate the buy-back move of the twin utilities.
“We have not heard recently the mayor on such plan. Had he changed his mind,†De la Serna always ask same question on several radio interviews.
City Mayor Lim also interpreted De la Serna’s statement as insinuating that he had been “bought-out†(napalit) by the foreign firm Salcon and has backtracked from the plan.
The rift of the two worsened when De la Serna questioned cityhall funds and the alleged multi-million intelligence funds at the discretion of the mayor.
