Manila Mayor Francisco "Isko Moreno" Domagoso met with some lawmakers representing three districts of Manila -- including 3rd District Rep. Joel Chua -- to discuss their respective projects and initiatives in the city on Saturday, Aug. 30.
According to Domagoso, Chua, along with 1st District Rep. Ernix Dionisio and 5th District Rep. Irwin Tieng, met with him at the City Hall to seek the city government's approval on their proposed programs.
"Tulad ng pagdalaw sa atin ni 4th District Congresswoman Giselle Maceda kamakailan, ang tatlo nating mambabatas ay naglahad din ng kani-kanilang inisyatiba sa kanilang distrito, bagay na aking ipinagpapasalamat (Just like how 4th District Congresswoman Giselle Maceda visited us recently, our three legislators also presented their respective initiatives in their districts, something I am grateful for)," the mayor said.
"Hangad natin na mapabilis ang delivery ng basic services sa mga taga Maynila sa pamamagitan ng tulungan ng national at local government officials sa kapitolyo ng ating bansa (We seek to expedite the delivery of basic services to the people of Manila through the cooperation between national and local government officials in our nation's capital)," he added.
Domagoso and Chua were previously engaged in a word war following the closure of an "illegal" construction project allegedly spearheaded by the solon in Barangay 334 on Aug. 21.
The project was shut down due to its lack of permits and formal approval from the city government.
Domagoso criticized the lawmaker over his connection to the unsanctioned project, which was intended to be built on a vacant lot where the Rizal Avenue Sports Athletic Complex (RASAC) Covered Court once stood. The lot also housed several satellite offices of the City Hall under the supervision of the city's Public Recreations Bureau.
However, the site was illegally demolished to give way to Chua's project. The demolition also affected the barangay's Senior Citizen's Office, barangay hall extension, and day care center.
