By Mona Lagbas

April 5, 2025, Cagayan de Oro City_As part of the Pakighinabi series Sa Team Padayon OSM, former city mayor Oscar Moreno met with small business people at Habitat Phase II Relocation in Barangay Indahag Saturday. In this series, the issues and concerns of different sectors are heard and addressed and are focal points in formulating solid platforms in governance.

The Indahag activity tackled the various concerns of the small entrepreneurs, like lack of capital for sari-sari stores and alternate livelihood opportunities.

Moreno, who is running for city mayor in the midterm polls next month, promised that he will strengthen his livelihood programs that he initiated during his three terms as former local chief executive from 2013 until 2022.

On the other hand, Moreno, in endorsing the candidacies and capabilities of his 2nd District councilors, stressed that he will not allow his Sangguniang Panglungsod slate to be rubber stamps of the city mayor.

"Dili ako uyon nga ang city council mamahimong rubber stamp sa mayor, kinahanglan nga ang atong mga pili-on isip kagawad kwalipikado, mga propesyonal ug naay mga lig-on nga baruganan ug prinsipyo alang sa kalambuan sa atong dakbayan," said Moreno.

"Sama karon nga nakighinabi kami kaninyo mahitungod sa inyong mga problema ug mga hangyo, apil kamo sa among pagpaningkamot sa hapsay nga pagdumala sa dakbayan, mao kini ang among ikapasalig nga inclusive governance," added Moreno.

With Attorney Oca during the gathering were city council hopefuls Jasmine Borja, Maricris Mulat and Boboy Sabal.
