ACTING Vice Mayor El Cid Familiaran yesterday said that his action relative to the Revised Revenue Code was based on his sound judgment.
He said the minutes of the SP sessions would show that he makes his decisions based on his sound judgment. "There were many measures that I had supported that were not those of my former partymates," he added. "That is only his opinion," Familiaran said when asked for his reaction to the statement of Councilor Caesar Distrito citing "ignorance of the law". Familiaran said he did not say he was right or wrong but he had to rule. Although he declaredthe ordinance as "lost", yet he submitted to the motion of the SP to override his ruling, he pointed out. He said he is not a lawyer, so he consulted several lawyers. His decision was based on their legal opinion, he said. He added that Councilor Sonya Verdeflor moved for a subsidiary motion to defer the approval of such decision to the DILG to know if it is allowed and to clarify the two conflicting interpretations. He further clarified that he is now with the Liberal Party and no longer with the Lakas or Monico Novero Palermo (MONOPAL) team. (CNC)
