Fed up with his alleged disrespect, Iloilo City Mayor Jerry Treñas has declared the head of the Department of Public Works and Highways’ District Engineering Office in the city ‘persona non grata’ or unacceptable person.
The mayor cited multiple projects in the city, which he described as “white elephants,” as the main reason behind his displeasure with the district engineer’s performance. “This DE of yours has gone beyond normal norms in civilized society. If he cannot even show respect for me as the highest elected official in the city, then he has no place here in the city,” Treñas noted in a statement posted recently on his official Facebook page.
