Dalaguete mayor issues statement to constituents

Title: Dalaguete Mayor Ronald Allan Cesante Grilled for Alleged Misconduct and Fraud

Shut up, haters! Dalaguete Mayor Ronald Allan Cesante found himself in hot water after a slew of complaints were lodged against him by his constituents last Friday, May 2nd, 2025.

These accusations didn't involve politics, mind you. No, they were about some pretty sketchy business deals, like building a warehouse on private land without a "deed of sale" and overpricing said warehouse - costing the taxpayers up to P8 million!

Some of the shady deals the man's been accused of include using public resources, like heavy equipment and manpower, for some shady road improvement projects with a private contractor. This ultimately led to the tragic death of Jerson Enseñales during a job-order for a covered court in Dalaguete.

Now, let's not forget those sweet, old senior citizens! The complainants are shouting that they were denied their right to cash assistance.

When these folks confronted the mayor, asking for action on their complaints and assurance that this was more than just an election ploy, Jonamie Ensenales, one of the complainants, had this to say:

"Please, Mayor, just listen to my complaints. I don't care about the election because this wasn't just a campaign promise."

Despite the serious allegations, Cesante's camp maintains his innocence, claiming he's the victim of dirty politics. However, these claims don't seem to hold much water when facts like these surface.

In his defense, Cesante has been less than transparent. "I've responded to the complaints through the Public Information Office, but I haven't been invited to respond myself."

Stay tuned for further updates on this messy situation. It's going to be a wild ride!

The allegations against Dalaguete Mayor Ronald Allan Cesante, concerning his questionable business deals and overpricing of public projects, have led to calls for transparency and a demand for him to produce a "deed of sale" for a controversial warehouse.
Amidst the recent controversy, Cesante's policy-and-legislation team has issued an advertisement defending his actions, claiming the accusations are merely a product of politics and general-news manipulation.
However, some estimations predict that Cesante's misdeeds, including using public resources for road improvement projects, could have cost taxpayers up to P8 million, as well as leading to the tragic death of Jerson Enseñales on a job-order for a covered court in Dalaguete.
Imo, the lack of impartiality in Cesante's response to the complaints, as he has yet to address them personally despite addressing them through the Public Information Office, raises serious concerns and adds to the ongoing debate regarding his "pagpasaka" (actions) and intentions.
