Words and Actions, Romy Cachola Edition

By /
While Mayor Peter Carlisle signed a bill criticized for its treatment of the homeless, flanked by two members of the Honolulu City Council, the only member who voted against the proposal Wednesday was half an ocean away, helping the needy.

Romy Cachola is currently in the Philippines for a medical mission sponsored by the Philippine Medical Association of Hawaii.

Volunteers will be providing medical services and supplies in some of the country’s disadvantaged areas: Davao, Mindanao; Payatas, Quezon City; and Ilocos Sur.

Cachola will return to Honolulu on Dec. 24.
