NO more faces painted on bus sides, please.
Cebu City Mayor Michael Rama said he ordered the removal of all pictures of Cebu City councilors, his own and that of Rep. Tomas Osmeña from the sides of city-owned Kaoshiung buses.
He said this is in keeping with President Aquino’s order not to splash the faces of public officials in government-owned vehicles and signages.
Rama said he ordered Engr. Rolly Ardosa of the Cebu City General Services Office to carry out this order.
The mayor noted the partial removal done by Rep. Rachel “Cutie” del Mar and her father, former congressman Raul Del Mar, on barangay buses that carried their smiling faces.
Rama said they merely defaced the vehicles and not totally erased them.
“When you want to erase, then there should be no trace of the picture or the name whatsoever,” Rama said. Tents that the city government issued to displaced victims of fire and other calamities bear the seal of the Cebu City government. Correspondent Edison delos Angeles
