Controversy.  Bottles bearing Councilor Carillo’s name cause a stir in social media, but the councilor says he spent his own money for it and distributed them to the barangays for their activities. (Photo taken from Pulitika sa Sugbo Facebook page)


BOTTLED water bearing the name of Cebu City Councilor Gerardo Carillo were allegedly distributed in cemeteries during the observance of the All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day.

Photos of the bottled waters were shared over social media by Facebook user “Pulitika sa Sugbo.”

The bottles have a green print that says “Gerry A. Carillo. Councilor-Cebu City South. Padayon ang Serbisyo.”These were bottled by Voda Water and Ice Ventures, a business owned by the councilor.

“Kay gibawal man sa mayor ang pagbutang ug mga hulagway sa menteryo, pwes naay nangitag paagi para makalusot (Because the mayor prohibits putting images in cemeteries, thus someone found a way),” reads the caption of the photos.

Carillo is Team Rama’s candidate for the south congressional seat in the 2016 elections.

Sought for comment about this, Carillo told Sun.Star Cebu yesterday that he has been giving at least 100 bottles each to the different south district barangays since last year for their activities.

However, he said he has no hold on how the barangays are going to use them.

“Di man na intended solely for kalag-kalag. Para na sa ilang mga activities. Wa na koy kalibutan giunsa nila pag-gamit kay ila na man na. Nangutana sila nako kung pwede ba manghatag, I told them naa ra man na ninyo basta I already gave the bottled waters to you (It’s not intended solely for the kalag-kalag. Those are for their activities. I have no idea how they’re using it because it’s already their. They asked me if it’s okay yo distribute them, I told them it’s up to them since I already gave them to you),” he said.

Carillo said he has been giving water to the villages for their barangay assemblies, women’s activities and zumba activities, among others.

The number of bottles he is giving to the barangays depends on how much they ask for.

The councilor said he used his personal money for this project.

Carillo said he is not taking advantage of the huge crowd going to cemeteries by distributing bottled water to push for his candidacy in the 2016 polls.

“Di na take advantage kay wa man koy gibutang diha nga ‘for congressman.’ Councilor man na akong gibutang diha (It’s not taking advantage since I did not put something like ‘for congressman.’ I only put Councilor),” he said. “Ako unya nang ilisan (I will soon change that),” he jokingly adds.

Beneficiaries

The barangays whom Carillo have already given bottled water to include Barangays Calamba, San Nicolas Proper, Pahina San Nicolas and Babag, among others.

Asked about this, Mayor Michael Rama said yesterday he doesn’t want to comment about the matter.

“If it is over, then it is over. I don’t have to comment about it if they are probably being creative and what we call possessing some initiative. If it will be something against them, I don’t know. Whether it will favor them, for sure it will. Lose some, win some na siya,” he said.

It was Rama who issued the directive to prohibit the hanging of tarpaulins of candidates running for next year’s polls inside cemeteries.
