CdO’s Rodriguez files bill to shelve Cebu Pacific’s legislative franchise

CAGAYAN de Oro City Rep. Rufus Rodriguez on Monday made good on his promise to file a resolution seeking the suspension of airline Cebu Pacific’s legislative franchise as punishment for its “terrible” service.

In a still unnumbered resolution filed at the House of Representatives last Saturday, Rodriguez said the principal reason for the grant by Congress to a private company “is for the benefit of the public.”
