City-hood For San Jose

Lately, news were spread about a move by Hon. Emil Villanada, a municipal councilor, for cityhood of San Jose. For now, the proposal of the good-natured councilor has already passed the second reading in the Sangguniang Bayan.
I caught him being interviewed in a local radio station on this topic. He was asked about where on earth did he get the idea that San Jose be turned into a city when the municipality to date has a lot of problems mostly related to governance. Particularly, the query was: Di po ba mas dapat unang ayusin ang kuryente, basura, utang ng San Jose, drainage system, pasugalan sa napakarum at dis-organize na palengke, atbp. upang mas maging nasa posisyon tayo sa pagiging isang siyudad?
His logic is simple: Maging siyudad muna tayo upang mas maayos natin ang mga tinutukoy ninyong problema.
I beg to disagree, Honorable. For obvious reason.
