Bulacan residents push plunder case vs former mayor

MEYCAUAYAN CITY, Bulacan – Hundreds of residents of this city launched a signature campaign in a prayer rally here on Saturday urging the Ombudsman to fasttrack the decision on the plunder charge and a string of other cases against former mayor Eduardo Alarilla.

The launching of the signature campaign also gave birth to the umbrella organization for good governance dubbed as “Kasama mo Laban Sa Abuso sa Gobyerno” (Kalasag) with a logo of St. Michael the archangel slaying a crocodile, a known symbol of graft and corruption.

Former mayor Adriano Daez and retired Senior Superintendent Rolando Lorenzo said that the signature campaign will not only be submitted to the Ombudsman, but to inform and empower local residents on what is happening in the city government.    – Dino Balabo
