This was the call made by City Councilor Zenaido Rama during a
privilege speech at the Sangguniang Panlungsod (SP) session last Monday.
A former close ally to City Mayor Dan Lim, Rama urged the mayor to create a task force who will inspect and disconnect identified drainage taps coming from some 30 residences and business establishments from VP Inting Street to CPG Avenue (North).
Rama presented a proposed resolution calling for the enforcement of City Ordinance C-205 which prohibits and penalizes illegal drainage connections.
However, fellow lawmakers identified with the majority bloc Oscar Glovasa and Danilo Bantugan dismissed the proposed resolution saying that the mayor has already informed them that a task force was already being formed.
Before the session, Vice Mayor Jose Antonio Veloso requested the city councilors to prioritize the proposed 2008 budget and that no measure or legislation be taken up until it was enacted. Hence, Rama's measure was shelved.
