The public sounded off the call for re-elected Tagbilaran City Mayor Dan Lim to uphold "transparency in handling the financial operations of the city government."
The call registered during a radio survey conducted yesterday over dyRD's top-rated "Radyo Merkado".
Those who aired the appeal for transparency cautioned the recurrence of unliquidated cash advances which highlighted the second term of Mayor Lim including the discovery of 32 missing vouchers by the Commission on Audit (COA).
The need for road improvement in the city registered as the second "most sought after" request among city residents who specified road sections in the city which badly need rehabilitation.
The road improvement plea came as an offshoot of the anapog-laying road projects which received criticism from the public shortly before the campaign period. Respondents likewise mentioned the poor road maintenance with potholes in almost all roads in the city proper.
It maybe noted that the city mayor with the approval of the Sangguniang Panlungsod received P50-million loan from the Development Bank of the Philippines (DBP) intended to buy anapog (limestone).
It maybe recalled that the absence of a proper accounting of the first P50 million tranche generated public condemnation.
The mayor, in fact, wanted to have another P50 million released from the same bank but failed after a massive signature campaign asked DBP President Rey David to hold in abeyance the release until proper accounting can be done of the first P50 million tranche. - Bohol Chronicle
