                    [Summary] => City Mayor Tomas Osmeña is now using a Lincoln Navigator sports utility vehicle, the same four-wheeled vehicle that President Arroyo used during her visits here in Cebu.


Osmeña said the owner of the SUV, whose name he refused to disclose, is lending him the vehicle for an unrestricted period, "no charge at all, not even gasoline."


When the owner learned that he liked the vehicle, he was allowed to try it out and use it, the mayor said. 
A magnetic sticker bearing the seal of the City of Cebu is posted on the sides of the car.

                    [Summary] => CEBU CITY — Frustrated with its poor showing, City Mayor Tomas Osmeña will take over the local school board as its chairman.


Osmeña feels the urgency to take over the board’s operations now that two of his projects have been delayed three years after entrusting the chairmanship to councilor Manuel Legaspi.


Legaspi sits not only as a board member in his capacity as the chairman of the city council’s committee on education but also as the mayor’s representative.

"We’re going through some real inconvenience.  He’s doing a good job," he said.
