Chairman of the powerful League of Cities of the Philippines (LCP) Mayor Jerry P. TreÃ±as is registering his strong opposition against the passage of House Bill 24.

The said House Bill calls for the upgrading of capital towns of provinces without cities into full-fledged cities.

TreÃ±as said the LCP is enjoining all City Chief Executives and their respective supporters to actively participate in opposing the passage of the House bill by calling for its outright rejection.

On the other hand, LCP National President, Mandaluyong Mayor Benjamin Abalos is enjoining all City Mayors nationwide to campaign against the bill that exempts capital towns into cities from the requirements of cityhood.

TreÃ±as said they had worked against the cityhood of 16 municipalities that failed to come up with the requirements of being a city.

The Supreme Court (SC) had sustained its petition rejecting the new cities by branding the new cities as unconstitutional. - Sun Star Iloilo
