Quezon City Mayor Joy Belmonte has vowed to crack the whip on erring city government personnel stressing that corruption has no place in her administration.
She issued the warning after ordering an extensive probe on the supposed shady market deal in the city.
A furious Belmonte said that no one is above the law and has vowed to impose the most severe punishment to the people behind this anomalous transaction. The city mayor discovered during one of her market tours that some 200 vendors have been operating without permits under the Luzon flyover. A disgusted Belmonte asserted these parties only subjects the poor to more financial burden and inconvenience.
