Mayor, tell us the truth
« on: June 03, 2007, 10:26:32 PM »
UNDEFEATED and former Loboc Mayor Cecilio Sarigumba belied the allegations that he pocketed the funds appropriated for the asphalt shouldering of the Loboc highways, during a radio interaction Monday, May 28.

  Reacting to a lie peddled in his hometown Loboc, Mayor Sarigumba said he called radio stations here to clear his name and added that he dared the spinners of the lie to trace the paper trail of the check accordingly released by former Congressional representative Eladio Jala.

  If indeed it came out, I am sure it was not in cash, so there should be a paper trail that would prove that the money, if there was, changed hands and was lost, Sarigumba hinted.

  According to him, he overheard from relatives of Rep. Jala tales that tell Sarigumba allegedly fattened his pockets by the money set for the road shoulder.

  Some Loboc residents have accordingly complained about the muddy road shouldering that has been constant irritant especially with the onset of the rainy season.

  Undeniably affected by the accusations and wanting to leave a clean record in government service, Sarigumba said he has never been accused of such in his terms as town executive.

  Sarigumba, who personally filed his resignation as mayor for health reasons said he was a bit troubled by the lie and wanted his name cleared before he would fly back to the United States where he is now a resident.

  For Congressman Jala, when asked to comment on the allegations also denied having started the tale even as he said that funds for such projects are from the national government and does not go down to the local executives.

  Moreover, Jala said a clean conscience should settle Mayor Sarigumba, who enjoyed the trust of Lobocanons as he was undefeated in his terms. (rachiu/PIA)
