                    [Summary] => 

I had the good fortune to be at the legislative building at the Cebu City Hall for the unveiling of the portrait of Don Vicente Rama, the father of the Cebu City Charter (we celebrated our 72nd Charter Day yesterday, that is why Cebu City had a long weekend) because an hour later, US Ambassador Kristie Kenney arrived for the launching of the Clean Air Youth Alliance (CAYA) also at the grounds of the Cebu City Hall.

In a statement, Marcelo said there is strong evidence of charges of grave misconduct against Rear Adm. Gilmer Batestil, and that his continued stay in office may prejudice the just, fair and independent disposition of the case.

Marcelo has ordered Navy chief Adm. Ernesto de Leon to implement the suspension of Batestil to prevent him from harassing witnesses and tampering with records.
