In a statement released to the media, lawyer Amando Virgil Ligutan, the legal counsel of Osmeña, said that the restoration of the Mayor’s Office was stopped because of Casas and Gealon’s intervention on the dawn of July 28, 2019, when the workers of Dakay Construction were restoring the place to its 2016 state.
