RAMA: SIMPLE BIRTHDAY GATHERING
Cebu City Mayor Michael Rama will be turning 59 on Monday and would rather have a simple gathering with family and friends at his residence in Rama compound in Basak San Nicolas to celebrate his birthday.
“I’ll spend it at home. I didn’t send invitations because it’s the barangay elections ,” Rama said in Bisaya.
Rama said he does not want to be suspected of playing politics by gathering his allies and political supporters on his birthday.
Besides, he said, he was well aware that they will also be busy monitoring the outcome of the barangay elections. /Chief Of Reporters Doris C. Bongcac

The P47 million apartment building project is funded from the Malampaya Fund which has been questioned recently after some government officials apparently squandered P900 million of the fund.
“We will assure the Filipino people that there will be proper utilization of these buildings for transparency,” Alano said.
Each two-story apartment-type unit has a living room, three bedrooms, and a kitchen. /Correspondent Michelle L. Padayhag
