Silay not bankrupt - Gamban Former Mayor Carlo Gamban yesterday dismissed as "absolutely impossible" claims that the budget of the Silay City Mayor's Office is zero up to December, and that there is no money left for the hiring of casual employees. How come employees of the City Mayor's Office are still receiving their salaries, how come the mayor can still perform and do activities pertaining to local governance, how come supplies of mayor are still there? Gamban asked, referring to the claims of an alleged zero budget for the Silay mayor' s office.
Nowhere in the history of governance has it happened that the City Mayor's Office
can operate on a zero budget. It never happened and will never happen, he said.
