Dumaguete Mayor Remollo & Councilor Lentorio sued for 12.5 million covid meal fraud

A big, big headline is in circulation right now about a lawsuit filed by the Vice Mayor and all the other councilors against the city mayor of Dumaguete and one councilor over what seems to be mishandling of millions of money meant for covid meals.

Erratum: it’s php 12.2 million

I am hesitant to react to this, for obvious reasons.
I'm legally a guest in this country, and commenting on politics / alleged machinations in public is not up to a guest.
"Their country, their problems to solve".

 

As a local, I, too, am happy of this development. We’ve been living in fear and intimidation all these years. I hope to see some positive progress on this case with the truth emerging victorious.

 

But you happen to live “in this country” now so in a way you are affected by such happenings. It is okay to state your honest opinion, I guess.

 

We are affected but if other locals complain to the right authority about a foreigner’s post as interfering with public opinion, it has already been demonstrated that social media is fair game in the pressing of such charges, even resulting in extradition requests from foreign countries like Taiwan (well known case). I must assume that activities can affect our visa status or worse; we know the law, it has been made known to us and we know it is sometimes enforced.
