The Cebu City government is considering filing carnapping charges against former Mayor Michael Rama for refusing to return a government-owned bulletproof van despite repeated demands.
The city issued a final demand letter on February 19, warning that failure to comply could lead to civil and criminal charges.
Mayor Raymond Alvin Garcia emphasized that government vehicles should not be in the hands of private individuals, particularly former officials.
Rama, who was dismissed over a nepotism case, confronted city legal officer Santiago Ortiz Jr. after receiving the demand, insisting he was still the mayor and should not have to return the vehicle.
City officials remain firm in their stance to reclaim the van, and legal action will proceed if Rama does not comply.
