‘Move to Makati,’ says Belmonte to residents hankering for free school supplies

BARELY a week after she was elected mayor of Quezon City, Joy Belmonte is already under fire from her constituents for allegedly reneging on her campaign promise to provide free school supplies.

And it did not help any that Belmonte told her critics to move instead to Makati City where its government gave out “shoes, boots, rubber shoes, PE and school uniforms, raincoats and allowances to school children.”
