Rama vows to complete novena for market funds

Cebu City Mayor Michael Rama said he will complete the nine-day series of dawn masses of the Misa de Gallo and pray for divine aid  to finish  renovation work on the Carbon market.

Rama said he asked President Benigno Aquino III for funding aid to complete the Carbon Market renovation at a cost of P30 million but his request was turned down.

“The President said I should apply for a loan,” he said.

The Cebu City Council only approved P170 million from the supplemental and the 2012 annual budgets, citing lack of  revenue sources.

“I never fail to complete the Misa De Gallo. There are a lot of prayers and intentions that I have asked before that were granted. This year, my prayer is that the Carbon Market will finally be reconstructed and completed,” said Rama. Rama said it would take more than P30 million to complete the Carbon Market units 1, 2 and 3.  Correspondent Edison delos Angeles
