ANGELES CITY – Balibago Barangay Captain Tony Mamac has challenged City Administrator Mark Allen Sison in a face-off where all issues that hound the Nepomuceno administration could be discussed.
Mamac told Punto that “this is also a chance for them to bring and present their evidences and to prove their allegations in every issue that the public raised against them.”
Through a face-off, he said Angelenos will have the chance to know the truth and the real score about various issues especially the garbage problem in the city.
Sison in an interview over the phone said that “this is not the right time to hold a public debate.
“It’s not a priority this time, what is important is for us to work first and we do not stop in exploring all possible solutions in addressing the problems of the city,” he said.
“I’m sorry but I decline to be used for any political gain or mileage,” he said.
However, Mamac said the face-off is the right time and forum so that the people of Angeles will know who tells the truth and “who offers appropriate solutions to all the problems that we face now,” Mamac said in an interview yesterday.
He raised the issue of garbage, lack of transparency of the Nepomuceno administration, the lack of public cemetery, the delay in the real property tax shares of barangays, the lack of medicines at the Ospital ning Angeles, and the controversial P680-million loan to build a sports complex.
The village chief, who expressed intention to run for mayor in 2010, also rejected claims that he did not offer any solutions to all the issues raised.
He also reiterated the call to stop the city government on its plan to loan a huge amount to build a P680 million sports complex.
On the other hand, Sison said that Mamac’s challenge will not help, adding that officials should take appropriate actions than engage in a face-off. “Istu napa ing puru namu salita dapat gawa pa.”
Mamac lashed back at Sison saying that the barangay captains are working hard and he was forced to ask for a face-off because of Sison’s earlier statements that the village chiefs were allegedly remiss in the payment of fees for the collection of garbage in their area.
