Some mayors, especially those who own cockpit arenas, were reportedly organizing the move to expel Ingking.
This is very disturbing. Sa ato pa, ang mga mayor nanag-iya og buwangan? Wa diay sila masayod nga supak kana sa balaod? The law in point is Section 89 of Republic Act 7160, otherwise known as The Local
Government Code of 1991.
SECTION 89. Prohibited Business and Pecuniary Interest. - (a) It shall be unlawful for any local government official or employee, directly or indirectly, to:
(1) Engage in any business transaction with the local government unit in which he is an official or employee or over which he has the power of supervision, or with any of its authorized boards, officials, agents, or attorneys, whereby money is to be paid, or property or any other thing of value is to be transferred, directly or indirectly, out of the resources of the local government unit to such person or firm;
(2)
Hold such interests in any cockpit or other games licensed by a local government unit.
(3) Purchase any real estate or other property forfeited in favor of such local government unit for unpaid taxes or assessment, or by virtue of a legal process at the instance of the said local government unit.
(4) Be a surety for any person contracting or doing business with the local government unit for which a surety is required; and
(5) Possess or use any public property of the local government unit for private purposes.
(b) All other prohibitions governing the conduct of national public officers relating to prohibited business and pecuniary interest so provided for under Republic Act Numbered Sixty-seven thirteen (R. A. No. 6713) otherwise known as the "Code of Conduct and Ethical Standards for Public Officials and Employees" and other laws shall also be applicable to local government officials and employees.
So who are these mayors?
Would anyone furnish TB their names so that we will report them to the Ombudsman?
