“I was there and I know how productive it was. A lot of things are now going on, especially the friendship relations between Vancouver and Cebu City,” he added.
When a government transaction is disallowed, either due to “irregular, unnecessary, excessive, extravagant or illegal,” the public funds used for this transaction must be returned to the government by the people who approved of it.State auditors said that except for Rama, the three other city officials lacked travel authority from the secretary of the Department of the Interior and Local Government .
