2010 Miss Mandaue Karina Gajudo lost her leg after the Mazda that she was riding slammed into the wall of a flyover in Banilad, Cebu City. The 21- year old beauty pageant titlist was riding with 19 year old Junichi Jose Dizon Kuribayashi. Both are residents Talamban, Cebu City. The accident happened at 4 a.m. Saturday. Gajudo was apparently thrown out of the car because of the intensity of the impact when car hit the wall. The car was turned upside down and it also hit a signage. The Mazda 2 was totally wrecked while both passengers were taken to different hospitals.
The police were asked by the Gajudo family to retrieve Karina’s leg a few hours after the accident. The incident caused a minor traffic jam in the area as motorists cannot help but pause and look at the wrecked remains of the car. The police have not yet determined who was driving the car when the accident happened but some investigators believe that Kuribayashi was the one driving as they found his driver’s license inside the car.

The Bando Osmena-Pundok Kauswagan (BOPK) bloc in the Cebu City council remains intact for now according to the belief of Vice Mayor Joy Augustus Young. There were talks that as many as 4 councilors are bolting the group founded by former mayor Tomas Osmena to start an opposing group with incumbent mayor Mike Rama. Mayor Rama recently declared himself out of the mighty BOPK.
Congressman Osmena hosted a dinner last Sunday with the city council save for Councilor Edu Rama who happens to be a nephew of the present mayor. Young said that it was just right that Councilor Rama was not invited so that he will not be put in a very awkward position. Congressman Osmena clarified that the dinner was not a loyalty check but more of a discussion on the issues in city like the Ciudad development in Banilad. He also added that anybody can leave the BOPK especially if the member does not believe its policies and principles. So far, no councilor has openly declared on leaving the BOPK.
caloycomment: Hopefully this Mayor vs. council conflict will not adversely affect government services. It would be tough to advance meaningful bills and developments if political instability is present. There are no major delays in public service but many people in the City Hall are tip-toeing and watchful on the next moves of both sides. I expect a lot of changes by the end of this month.
