TOUGH TIMES PASS Still, Mayor Mike Rama
May 09, 2025
|The Freeman
10 Formidable Reasons
"Sticks and stones may break his bones," but no storm of political attacks can bring Mayor Mike L. Rama down.
Despite relentless persecution, he remains unbowed, and poised to prove his critics wrong once again.
The people love him even more for it. That love, I believe, will transform into votes and vindication on election day.
In recent months, Rama has faced a barrage of cases -- hurriedly filed, suspiciously timed, and clearly political. The Ombudsman ruled on them at record speed, just as elections near. Meanwhile, complaints against his rivals? Dismissed in a snap.
It's a familiar tactic: tear down the frontrunner. Yet like the Vice President, Rama is rising in the polls. Cebuanos love an underdog, especially one who fights with heart.

Contractors should treat their workers fairly
To be fair, not all contractors are guilty of ghost public works projects or rampant violators of labor laws. But in my own research as professor of labor laws for more than four decades in a number of law schools and universities, I can testify that many contractors are notorious exploiters of labor.
