“I am grateful to Vice Mayor Rama for allowing me to stay one more week in the Vice Mayor’s Office as we all know what happened to the Mayor’s Office. Of course, the vice mayor will need to occupy this office as soon as possible, so I will be occupying the Senior Citizen’s Affairs Office,” said Labella.
“Of course we need to go through the proper process because I do not have P2 million in my pockets to fix the Mayor’s Office. I do not have that kind of money,” said Labella.
