Is this true? or just a misunderstanding of the way Cebu City Hall is run? Read acting Mayor Michael Rama's reaction to these allegations at CDNDigital
November 15,2021 - 08:35 PMCEBU CITY, Philippines — Are there shadow officials running the 27 departments in Cebu City on behalf of Acting Mayor Michael Rama?
He noted that the acting mayor announced this appointment of shadow officials in a November 8, 2021, speech during the flag ceremony, and the mayor said then that employees should, “collaborate, cooperate, and coordinate with these overseers otherwise risk being disciplined, replaced, or terminated.”A letter from a concerned Cebu City Hall employee.
The employee claimed that the shadow officials did not have accountability because they were not duly appointed. “There are no shadow officials, but I am only bringing partners, collaborators, cooperators, coordinators, and at the same time overseers. There is no paper assignment, therefore, there is nothing illegal about it,” said the acting mayor.
In fact, the overseers were already employees of the City Hall or consultants, who had been assigned to the specific departments to oversee the operations, and not to run them, he said.
