City hall owes the establishments at least P22 million for the use of their facilities and services since January 2021.
Gacal, chairman of the city council’s blue-ribbon committee, said the unpaid bills were incurred from January to September, and the local executive department thought that a mere authorization from the city council for Mayor Ronnel Rivera to pay the hotels and similar establishments would be a quick fix.
One of those who attended the meeting said the mayor promised that they would be paid in two to three weeks. But Clarin said another remedy was for the city council to authorize Rivera to settle the unpaid obligations based on the Local Government of 1991.
