It's crucial to remember that this applies to all BSKE candidates in our locality. Let this serve as a fair warning – Ozamiz City is determined to uphold the integrity of our elections."

Looking ahead to the BSKE 2023, Mayor Oaminal emphasized the importance of allowing Ozamiznons to make informed decisions. "In this election, we will entrust the Ozamiznons with the responsibility of choosing candidates who are truly capable of serving the community. Let us adhere strictly to the principle of 'No Vote Buying, Just Pure Service.'"

In closing, Mayor Oaminal called for unity and dedication in the pursuit of a transparent, honest, and vote-buying-free election. The commitment of the LGU Ozamiz and the city officials was resoundingly clear – they stand together with COMELEC in preserving the integrity of the electoral process, ensuring that the voice of the people is heard without undue influence.
