Timeline

1954

Michael Lopez Rama (born October 28, 1954) is a Filipino politician serving as Mayor of Cebu City since 2021, a position he previously held from 2010 to 2016.

1983

Rama passed the bar exam in 1983.

1992

Rama started his political career as councilor of Cebu City for three successive terms from 1992 to 2001, filling in the slot of his uncle, Clemente "Cle" Rama, a veteran councilor, and leading the Committee on Education.

In his third term, as the councilor who was the recipient of the most votes in the election, Rama became the first councilor that made him often assume the role as acting vice mayor and even as acting mayor.

Also during his third term, he served as national president of the Philippine Councilors League (PCL).

2001

He served as the Vice Mayor of Cebu City from 2001 to 2010 and from 2019 to 2021, and was a member of the Cebu City Council from 1992 to 2001.

He was elected the National President of the League of Cities of the Philippines in 2022.

Mike Rama graduated as class valedictorian in Basak Elementary School in Basak San Nicolas, Cebu City.

He attended the University of Southern Philippines and earned a pre-med degree from Velez College.

He went on for further graduate studies in law at San Beda College in Manila.

Thereafter, Rama served three consecutive terms as vice mayor of Cebu City from 2001 to 2010 with Tomas Osmeña as mayor, and was elected the national president of the Vice Mayors League of the Philippines (VMLP).

2010

Rama ran and won for the city mayorship in 2010, and was proclaimed as the twenty-seventh mayor of Cebu City, defeating former mayor Alvin Garcia.

2011

He is the nephew of Osmundo G. Rama, Governor of Cebu Province and of Commissioner Napoleon G. Rama, 1986 Constitutional Commission floor leader, Philippine Legion of Honor (Grand Commander) 26 February 2011 awardee.

2013

Rama was re-elected as mayor for a second term in 2013, defeating his former ally and mayor Tomas Osmeña.

2014

A December 2014 essay by SunStar Cebu focused on the rivalry between Michael Rama and Tomas Osmeña in Cebu politics.

Osmeña criticized Rama for assuming roles beyond a mayor's duties, like a fire-fighter and police officer.

However, the essay also highlighted Osmeña's similar strategic image-building, projecting himself as a powerful political figure.

The article emphasized that despite Osmeña's critique of Rama's multiple personas, both politicians crafted specific images to appeal to voters.

2015

In a July 2015 Facebook post, former Cebu City Mayor Tomas Osmeña criticized his erstwhile ally and political rival, Mayor Michael Rama, accusing Rama of mismanaging government funds and selling off valuable South Road Properties (SRP) lots, a project Osmeña initially conceptualized.

Osmeña highlighted concerns about the depletion of City Hall funds under Rama's tenure, contrasting it with the substantial amount he purportedly left behind upon stepping down.

In December 2015, Malacañang ordered a 60-day preventive suspension on Rama for his alleged culpable violation of the Constitution, grave abuse of authority, grave misconduct, and oppression.

The suspension was in response to an administrative complaint filed by Barangay Labangon Chairperson Victor M. Buendia, alleging that Mayor Rama had unlawfully ordered the destruction of a center island and street lighting project funded and undertaken by the said Barangay without due process.

The Office of the President determined that such actions were not justified as street lights and center islands are not nuisances, and their removal should have followed appropriate legal procedures.

2016

Rama reported back to his office on February 8, 2016, as the 60-day suspension imposed on him by the Office of the President of the Philippines had ended.

Rama ran for a third and final consecutive term in 2016, but was defeated by Osmeña by a margin of 33,894 votes.

In August 2016, President Rodrigo Duterte has mentioned former Cebu City mayor Michael Rama as one of the country's alleged drug protectors, along with other individuals, during an event.

In response, Rama expressed his sadness over the accusation and stated his willingness to cooperate with authorities to clear his name.

He emphasized his support for Duterte's anti-drug campaign and his family's commitment to being law-abiding citizens.

Rama hoped for justice and truth to prevail.

2019

In 2019, Rama returned to his former post as vice mayor of Cebu City, together with ally Edgardo Labella as mayor, defeating the incumbent Osmeña.

Rama once again took oath as mayor on November 20, 2021, following the death of Labella the day before.

Rama retained his post as city mayor in 2022, defeating city councilors Margot Osmeña and Dave Tumulak.

In August 2022, Mayor Michael Rama had repeatedly expressed his vision of making Cebu City "Singapore-like" since taking office, inspired by a recent visit to Singapore.

He emphasized the need for transformation and resilience, calling on various sectors, including the information technology and business process outsourcing sector, to work together for the city's development.

However, there is a lack of specific goals and a clear roadmap for achieving this vision, leading to questions about what it means to be "Singapore-like" and the need for Cebu City to define its objectives more precisely.

Critics argue that the city should set clear, measurable targets to determine if it achieves its goal of becoming "Singapore-like."

Rama is a member of the Rama family, a prominent political family from Cebu City.

He is the son of Fernando Rama, a former Cebu City councilor, and brother of Eduardo L. Rama, the former congressman and governor of Agusan del Norte.

His nephew is Cebu City Congressman Edu Rama Jr., son of his late brother governor Eduardo Rama Sr. He has a daughter named Micheline F. Rama and son named Mikel F. Rama.
