When told about the viral video that was posted on Facebook that showed Sandigan telling the vendors without business permits that they would be handcuffed, Torino said, “It was just a joke.”
“Our mayor is joker, nobody was jailed, nobody was handcuffed, It was a simple way of Mayor Sandigan to convince vendors to secure business permits,” he said, adding that people around the mayor were laughing as he was cracking jokes.
Torino said the mayor paid for the business permits of some small vendors in the market from his own pocket to encourage the others to pay local taxes. (Ferdinandh Cabrera/MindaNews)
