THE private higher education institutions in Cagayan denied on Friday, April 19, 2024, the reported “influx” of Chinese students in the province.In a joint statement issued by the Presidents of Medical Colleges of Northern Philippines (MCNP), University of Cagayan Valley (UCV), University of Saint Louis-Tuguegarao (USLT), and St. Paul University Philippine-Tuguegarao (SPUP), they said such reports were “grossly overstated and deeply offensive.”They said there were only 486 foreign national students only in the SPUP and not 4,600 as reported. The foreign students consist of various nationalities including Americans, Chinese, Indonesians, Japanese, and Vietnamese.“The enrollment of foreign students in Cagayan Province is a testament to the province's commitment to diversity, inclusivity, and respect for human rights. By welcoming students from other countries, the province is demonstrating its commitment to the values of tolerance, respect, and understanding. This can help create a more peaceful, harmonious, and inclusive society,” the statement reads.“The insinuation that the presence of Chinese students in the City's Universities poses a threat to national security is not only baseless but also deeply offensive. It is a blatant display of racism and Sinophobia that has no place in our society, especially within the realm of education,” it added.The four institutions said that they implement stringent admission criteria and screening processes in place to ensure the suitability of applicants. They said they also follow the internalization policies of the Commission on Higher Education (Ched).They also denied reports that Chinese students pay P2 million to get their degrees in Cagayan universities.They noted that the cost of tuition fees for foreign students at SPUP, the only university with foreign students, is around $1,000 per trimester.“The insinuation that Cagayan Universities are diploma mills is not only insulting but may also be libelous. Students undergo a rigorous vetting process aligned with the Commission on Higher Education (Ched) requirements such as completion of academic courses, comprehensive examinations, and thesis/dissertation,” they said.“The suggestion that Chinese students may be involved in espionage is not only unfounded but also reflects a dangerous stereotype that unfairly targets an entire group of individuals based on their nationality. Such accusations not only undermine the integrity of our academic institutions but also perpetuate harmful stereotypes that have no place in a civilized society,” it added.Earlier, Cagayan Third District Representative Joseph "Jojo" Lara sought for the conduct of a probe on the matter.Senator Sherwin Gatchalian also urged Ched to look into the alleged selling of degrees to Chinese students for up to P2 million.

Instead, a usufruct was established by MCWD in favor of the City of Cebu.Third, the City is unable to make payments for the months that have passed even following the perfection of a lease contract between the parties since there are requirements which must be complied with first.The document was signed by the following lawyers: Manuel Degollacion III, Shana Alexandra Perez, Arthcris Cuadra, Jave Mike Aton, Ramon Mikhail Duyongco, Feliciano Alinson Jr., Eleodoro Diaz IV, Bernard Inocentes Garcia, Lyndon Bernardo Basan, and Gimena.In the letter, the city lawyers explained that by virtue of MCWD Board Resolution 04-067-2023, the possession of the old MCWD building (MCWD Annex Building) was transferred to the City of Cebu without any conditions attached. This resolution created the usufruct over the property.Regarding the payment of rental, the city lawyers argued that since there was no contract of lease between the City and MCWD at the time the City took possession of the property, the City is not obligated to pay rent.As for the requirements before the City can pay rental for the months that have lapsed following the perfection of their lease contract, the City cited Sections 85 and 86 of Presidential Decree 1445 (Auditing Code of the Philippines) that provide that contracts involving expenditure of public funds: (a) can be entered into only when there is an appropriation for it; and (b) such contract must be certified by the proper accounting official/agency that funds have been duly appropriated for the purpose, which certification shall be attached to and become an integral part of the proposed contract.The city lawyers added that the Local Government Code of 1991 also requires the mayor to secure prior authorization from the City Council before entering into contracts on behalf of the City.Daluz reactsSought for comment Thursday, Jose Daluz III, chairman of MCWD’s board of directors, said the building is titled in the name of MCWD.“Gusto gyud sila ma-file-lan og grave abuse of authority. I don’t know. Let’s just see,” Daluz said, emphasizing that the City “definitely” has no ownership of the entire area.(They really want a case for grave abuse of authority to be filed against them.)He added that there was no usufruct to begin with.“It’s a resolution. It was not consummated, maybe ha. I cannot remember. Basta what I can definitely remember is that there was no contract, whether usufruct, lease or anything. They just occupied the place without any contract,” he said.Daluz said they will just follow the legal process on this matter.Can’t be ejected In their letter, the city lawyers argued that the usufruct was “perfected through delivery” since MCWD allowed the City to enter and occupy the premises since Nov. 15, 2022. They argued that the City “cannot be ejected by force, violence or terror, not even by the owners,” considering that the City is in “lawful possession of the property.” However, the City acknowledged MCWD’s proposal for a lease contract, as stipulated in Board Resolution 05-100-2023, and its willingness to negotiate rental and other terms consistent with law, particularly Commission on Audit guidelines on lease contracts.According to the city lawyers, MCWD proposed to lease the “entire MCWD Annex Building” to the City, which offer was accepted, as contained in City Administrator Collin Rosell’s letter dated Sept. 19, 2023.The City Government and MCWD later agreed on a monthly rental rate of P500,000. With the meeting of the minds of both parties on this, the contract of lease was formed, meeting the requirements of Article 1315 of the New Civil Code that “contracts are perfected by mere consent,” the City said.On the suggestion to retain a portion of the MCWD Annex Building, as outlined in Donoso’s letter addressed to Mayor Michael Rama on Aug. 17, 2023, the lawyers argued that it does not align with the authority granted by the MCWD Board to lease the entire MCWD Annex Building to the Cebu City Government. They said Board Resolution 05-100-2023 merely authorized Donoso to represent the water district and notify the City of Cebu of the proposal to execute a lease contract. He was not authorized to alter MCWD’s offer.To fulfill the requirements of the lease agreement and facilitate its execution, the City reiterated its requests for (a) a board resolution issued by the MCWD directors duly appointed by Mayor Rama granting Donoso the authority to sign the contract on behalf of MCWD, (b) a board resolution issued, again by the MCWD directors duly appointed by Rama, endorsing the rental rates and approving the contract, and (c) the signed contract of lease. The City also declined to remove structures and repair any damage on the building, saying that with the lease contract “already perfected,” the City of Cebu was a lessee and possessor in good faith.It’s unclear whether MCWD can fulfill the City’s requests as Rama replaced MCWD board members Daluz, Miguelito Pato and Jodelyn May Seno last Oct. 31 with Melquiades Feliciano, Aristotle Batuhan and Nelson Yuvallos, but Daluz, Pato and Seno have refused to step down from their posts. Feliciano is the chairman of the Rama-appointed board.Former allies Rama and Daluz have been at odds since Rama moved to remove Daluz as MCWD chairman in May 2023. Daluz said Rama was irked at Daluz’s opposition to Rama’s bid to “privatize” MCWD as well as his private comment for younger leaders to run in the next election. Rama is a senior citizen.

How can I win money fast? THE executive department of Cebu City Hall has denied allegations that it has not given the Metropolitan Cebu Water District (MCWD) excavation permits that could have addressed the lack of water in 10 of the city’s upland barangays. However, based on the records of MCWD through its contractors, three applications for excavation permits of pipeline expansion projects remain unapproved by the City since 2023. Based on MCWD records, the applications for excavation permits for the pipeline expansion projects in barangays Binaliw, Cambinocot and Guba are still pending in the City Hall. The application for an excavation permit in Binaliw was submitted on July 3, 2023. The one for Cambinocot was submitted on May 11, and the one for Guba on Nov. 11. The same projects were discussed during one of the executive sessions conducted by the Cebu City Council on April 2, 2024, wherein Cebu City Councilor Nestor Archival brought up the concern as the water district had given him a copy of a letter making a follow-up with the City about its applications for excavation permits. Cebu City Administrator Collin Rosell, in an interview on Friday, April 19, said he was present at the same session, wherein he asked the MCWD representative to give him a copy of the documents MCWD had submitted to the City so the City could approve them right then and there. However, he said upon checking the documents submitted, he noticed that the location indicated in the requirements did not correspond with the one indicated on the application. “For example, the submitted application indicated was in Guba. But upon checking the requirements, the one stated there was Apas. These are the things that we really look into. We really have to check the supporting documents... because we’re talking about excavation here. It’s dangerous. Magpataka ra unya na sila og bangag (They might excavate indiscriminately),” said Rosell. He even said that no excavation permit application and supporting documents reached his table that was up for approval. Rosell said they required the water district to submit their application on April 2, the same day the executive session was conducted; however, no documents were submitted on that day. “Wala man gihapoy naabot sukad niadtong adlawa nga ipasubmit man tanan aron tan-awon aron ipatagad diha-diha dayon,” Rosell said. (Nothing has arrived since that day since everything has to be submitted so that it can be attended to immediately.)“Wala gyud sila’y na submit laktod pagkasulti. Kun naa man silay na submit, asa mana nila gi-submit ug kompleto na ba na?” he added. (They really did not submit anything. If they submitted anything, where did they submit it and is this complete already?)Rosell said should MCWD submit the documents one of these days, he will mark the documents “late” as MCWD was required to submit the application on the same day of the session. Contractors’ wordMCWD information officer Minerva Gerodias on Friday said it’s their contractors that send an application to the City Hall for the excavation permit. Gerodias said they communicate with their contractors and based on their feedback, their applications remain unapproved. Gerodias, however, said the water district has no idea what supporting documents its contractors submitted to the City, explaining that it is the responsibility of the contractors to work on the permits based on their agreement. The pipeline expansion project could have helped provide water to the barangays in the upland areas of the city with water coming from the Lusaran bulk water project. According to a previous report of SunStar Cebu, the pipeline expansion projects could have benefitted 10 mountain barangays. With the absence of pipes that could have provided water to some upland barangays, the water from Lusaran is currently supplying water to Barangays Busay, Lahug, Pit-os and Kamputhaw. ConflictWith the ongoing conflict between MCWD and City Hall, SunStar Cebu asked Rosell whether the City will approve the applications if MCWD will submit the applications, Rosell answered, “The City approves applications as long as the supporting documents are complete.” He added that there is no ongoing conflict between the City and MCWD, only with some of the sitting directors who refused to follow orders from the Local Water Utilities Administration (LWUA). “There is no conflict between the City and MCWD. There are some people there, some directors, who were suspended by LWUA, but refused to step down. The point is I do not see any conflict,” said Rosell in Cebuano. Rosell said it’s the technical infrastructure committee that reviews applications for excavation permits. He said some of the requirements in applying for an excavation permit include location, duration of the excavation, safety measures to be implemented, and excavation plan.The LWUA suspended chairman Jose Daluz III, and directors Miguelito Pato and Jodelyn May Seno for six months last March 15, replacing them with an interim board as the LWUA sought to look into issues at the water district, including the alleged failure to comply with procurement laws. The trio has not recognized the authority of the LWUA to suspend them.

THE Cebu City Government has refused to vacate the Metropolitan Cebu Water District-owned (MCWD) building that it uses as its satellite office, asserting its “lawful possession” of the property, following the water district’s demand for it to vacate the premises this week and pay back rent.In a Feb. 20, 2024 letter addressed to MCWD general manager Edgar Donoso, the City Government through the City Legal Office, led by officer-in-charge Carlo Vincent Gimena, declined to meet the demands of the MCWD.In a final notice and demand letter dated Jan. 22, 2024, MCWD had demanded that the City Government do the following: (a) vacate and surrender possession of the old MCWD building within 30 days from receipt of the notice, (b) pay rental of P500,000 for each month it has occupied the premises since June 1, 2023, (c) remove any structures added, without causing damage to the premises, (d) restore and/or repair any damage caused to the building, and (e) settle any unpaid utilities or bills associated with the premises.The City’s response letter highlighted three points.First, it said the City of Cebu is in “lawful possession” of the property without any legal basis to relinquish this.Second, upon taking possession of the property in 2022, there was no lease contract, relieving the City of any rent obligation. Instead, a usufruct was established by MCWD in favor of the City of Cebu.Third, the City is unable to make payments for the months that have passed even following the perfection of a lease contract between the parties since there are requirements which must be complied with first.The document was signed by the following lawyers: Manuel Degollacion III, Shana Alexandra Perez, Arthcris Cuadra, Jave Mike Aton, Ramon Mikhail Duyongco, Feliciano Alinson Jr., Eleodoro Diaz IV, Bernard Inocentes Garcia, Lyndon Bernardo Basan, and Gimena.In the letter, the city lawyers explained that by virtue of MCWD Board Resolution 04-067-2023, the possession of the old MCWD building (MCWD Annex Building) was transferred to the City of Cebu without any conditions attached. This resolution created the usufruct over the property.Regarding the payment of rental, the city lawyers argued that since there was no contract of lease between the City and MCWD at the time the City took possession of the property, the City is not obligated to pay rent.As for the requirements before the City can pay rental for the months that have lapsed following the perfection of their lease contract, the City cited Sections 85 and 86 of Presidential Decree 1445 (Auditing Code of the Philippines) that provide that contracts involving expenditure of public funds: (a) can be entered into only when there is an appropriation for it; and (b) such contract must be certified by the proper accounting official/agency that funds have been duly appropriated for the purpose, which certification shall be attached to and become an integral part of the proposed contract.The city lawyers added that the Local Government Code of 1991 also requires the mayor to secure prior authorization from the City Council before entering into contracts on behalf of the City.Daluz reactsSought for comment Thursday, Jose Daluz III, chairman of MCWD’s board of directors, said the building is titled in the name of MCWD.“Gusto gyud sila ma-file-lan og grave abuse of authority. I don’t know. Let’s just see,” Daluz said, emphasizing that the City “definitely” has no ownership of the entire area.(They really want a case for grave abuse of authority to be filed against them.)He added that there was no usufruct to begin with.“It’s a resolution. It was not consummated, maybe ha. I cannot remember. Basta what I can definitely remember is that there was no contract, whether usufruct, lease or anything. They just occupied the place without any contract,” he said.Daluz said they will just follow the legal process on this matter.Can’t be ejected In their letter, the city lawyers argued that the usufruct was “perfected through delivery” since MCWD allowed the City to enter and occupy the premises since Nov. 15, 2022. They argued that the City “cannot be ejected by force, violence or terror, not even by the owners,” considering that the City is in “lawful possession of the property.” However, the City acknowledged MCWD’s proposal for a lease contract, as stipulated in Board Resolution 05-100-2023, and its willingness to negotiate rental and other terms consistent with law, particularly Commission on Audit guidelines on lease contracts.According to the city lawyers, MCWD proposed to lease the “entire MCWD Annex Building” to the City, which offer was accepted, as contained in City Administrator Collin Rosell’s letter dated Sept. 19, 2023.The City Government and MCWD later agreed on a monthly rental rate of P500,000. With the meeting of the minds of both parties on this, the contract of lease was formed, meeting the requirements of Article 1315 of the New Civil Code that “contracts are perfected by mere consent,” the City said.On the suggestion to retain a portion of the MCWD Annex Building, as outlined in Donoso’s letter addressed to Mayor Michael Rama on Aug. 17, 2023, the lawyers argued that it does not align with the authority granted by the MCWD Board to lease the entire MCWD Annex Building to the Cebu City Government. They said Board Resolution 05-100-2023 merely authorized Donoso to represent the water district and notify the City of Cebu of the proposal to execute a lease contract. He was not authorized to alter MCWD’s offer.To fulfill the requirements of the lease agreement and facilitate its execution, the City reiterated its requests for (a) a board resolution issued by the MCWD directors duly appointed by Mayor Rama granting Donoso the authority to sign the contract on behalf of MCWD, (b) a board resolution issued, again by the MCWD directors duly appointed by Rama, endorsing the rental rates and approving the contract, and (c) the signed contract of lease. The City also declined to remove structures and repair any damage on the building, saying that with the lease contract “already perfected,” the City of Cebu was a lessee and possessor in good faith.It’s unclear whether MCWD can fulfill the City’s requests as Rama replaced MCWD board members Daluz, Miguelito Pato and Jodelyn May Seno last Oct. 31 with Melquiades Feliciano, Aristotle Batuhan and Nelson Yuvallos, but Daluz, Pato and Seno have refused to step down from their posts. Feliciano is the chairman of the Rama-appointed board.Former allies Rama and Daluz have been at odds since Rama moved to remove Daluz as MCWD chairman in May 2023. Daluz said Rama was irked at Daluz’s opposition to Rama’s bid to “privatize” MCWD as well as his private comment for younger leaders to run in the next election. Rama is a senior citizen.

THE private higher education institutions in Cagayan denied on Friday, April 19, 2024, the reported “influx” of Chinese students in the province.In a joint statement issued by the Presidents of Medical Colleges of Northern Philippines (MCNP), University of Cagayan Valley (UCV), University of Saint Louis-Tuguegarao (USLT), and St. Paul University Philippine-Tuguegarao (SPUP), they said such reports were “grossly overstated and deeply offensive.”They said there were only 486 foreign national students only in the SPUP and not 4,600 as reported. The foreign students consist of various nationalities including Americans, Chinese, Indonesians, Japanese, and Vietnamese.“The enrollment of foreign students in Cagayan Province is a testament to the province's commitment to diversity, inclusivity, and respect for human rights. By welcoming students from other countries, the province is demonstrating its commitment to the values of tolerance, respect, and understanding. This can help create a more peaceful, harmonious, and inclusive society,” the statement reads.“The insinuation that the presence of Chinese students in the City's Universities poses a threat to national security is not only baseless but also deeply offensive. It is a blatant display of racism and Sinophobia that has no place in our society, especially within the realm of education,” it added.The four institutions said that they implement stringent admission criteria and screening processes in place to ensure the suitability of applicants. They said they also follow the internalization policies of the Commission on Higher Education (Ched).They also denied reports that Chinese students pay P2 million to get their degrees in Cagayan universities.They noted that the cost of tuition fees for foreign students at SPUP, the only university with foreign students, is around $1,000 per trimester.“The insinuation that Cagayan Universities are diploma mills is not only insulting but may also be libelous. Students undergo a rigorous vetting process aligned with the Commission on Higher Education (Ched) requirements such as completion of academic courses, comprehensive examinations, and thesis/dissertation,” they said.“The suggestion that Chinese students may be involved in espionage is not only unfounded but also reflects a dangerous stereotype that unfairly targets an entire group of individuals based on their nationality. Such accusations not only undermine the integrity of our academic institutions but also perpetuate harmful stereotypes that have no place in a civilized society,” it added.Earlier, Cagayan Third District Representative Joseph "Jojo" Lara sought for the conduct of a probe on the matter.Senator Sherwin Gatchalian also urged Ched to look into the alleged selling of degrees to Chinese students for up to P2 million.

THE Cebu City Government has refused to vacate the Metropolitan Cebu Water District-owned (MCWD) building that it uses as its satellite office, asserting its “lawful possession” of the property, following the water district’s demand for it to vacate the premises this week and pay back rent.In a Feb. 20, 2024 letter addressed to MCWD general manager Edgar Donoso, the City Government through the City Legal Office, led by officer-in-charge Carlo Vincent Gimena, declined to meet the demands of the MCWD.In a final notice and demand letter dated Jan. 22, 2024, MCWD had demanded that the City Government do the following: (a) vacate and surrender possession of the old MCWD building within 30 days from receipt of the notice, (b) pay rental of P500,000 for each month it has occupied the premises since June 1, 2023, (c) remove any structures added, without causing damage to the premises, (d) restore and/or repair any damage caused to the building, and (e) settle any unpaid utilities or bills associated with the premises.The City’s response letter highlighted three points.First, it said the City of Cebu is in “lawful possession” of the property without any legal basis to relinquish this.Second, upon taking possession of the property in 2022, there was no lease contract, relieving the City of any rent obligation. Instead, a usufruct was established by MCWD in favor of the City of Cebu.Third, the City is unable to make payments for the months that have passed even following the perfection of a lease contract between the parties since there are requirements which must be complied with first.The document was signed by the following lawyers: Manuel Degollacion III, Shana Alexandra Perez, Arthcris Cuadra, Jave Mike Aton, Ramon Mikhail Duyongco, Feliciano Alinson Jr., Eleodoro Diaz IV, Bernard Inocentes Garcia, Lyndon Bernardo Basan, and Gimena.In the letter, the city lawyers explained that by virtue of MCWD Board Resolution 04-067-2023, the possession of the old MCWD building (MCWD Annex Building) was transferred to the City of Cebu without any conditions attached. This resolution created the usufruct over the property.Regarding the payment of rental, the city lawyers argued that since there was no contract of lease between the City and MCWD at the time the City took possession of the property, the City is not obligated to pay rent.As for the requirements before the City can pay rental for the months that have lapsed following the perfection of their lease contract, the City cited Sections 85 and 86 of Presidential Decree 1445 (Auditing Code of the Philippines) that provide that contracts involving expenditure of public funds: (a) can be entered into only when there is an appropriation for it; and (b) such contract must be certified by the proper accounting official/agency that funds have been duly appropriated for the purpose, which certification shall be attached to and become an integral part of the proposed contract.The city lawyers added that the Local Government Code of 1991 also requires the mayor to secure prior authorization from the City Council before entering into contracts on behalf of the City.Daluz reactsSought for comment Thursday, Jose Daluz III, chairman of MCWD’s board of directors, said the building is titled in the name of MCWD.“Gusto gyud sila ma-file-lan og grave abuse of authority. I don’t know. Let’s just see,” Daluz said, emphasizing that the City “definitely” has no ownership of the entire area.(They really want a case for grave abuse of authority to be filed against them.)He added that there was no usufruct to begin with.“It’s a resolution.

Rama is a senior citizen. licensed online casinos THE executive department of Cebu City Hall has denied allegations that it has not given the Metropolitan Cebu Water District (MCWD) excavation permits that could have addressed the lack of water in 10 of the city’s upland barangays. However, based on the records of MCWD through its contractors, three applications for excavation permits of pipeline expansion projects remain unapproved by the City since 2023. Based on MCWD records, the applications for excavation permits for the pipeline expansion projects in barangays Binaliw, Cambinocot and Guba are still pending in the City Hall. The application for an excavation permit in Binaliw was submitted on July 3, 2023. The one for Cambinocot was submitted on May 11, and the one for Guba on Nov. 11. The same projects were discussed during one of the executive sessions conducted by the Cebu City Council on April 2, 2024, wherein Cebu City Councilor Nestor Archival brought up the concern as the water district had given him a copy of a letter making a follow-up with the City about its applications for excavation permits. Cebu City Administrator Collin Rosell, in an interview on Friday, April 19, said he was present at the same session, wherein he asked the MCWD representative to give him a copy of the documents MCWD had submitted to the City so the City could approve them right then and there. However, he said upon checking the documents submitted, he noticed that the location indicated in the requirements did not correspond with the one indicated on the application. “For example, the submitted application indicated was in Guba. But upon checking the requirements, the one stated there was Apas. These are the things that we really look into. We really have to check the supporting documents... because we’re talking about excavation here. It’s dangerous. Magpataka ra unya na sila og bangag (They might excavate indiscriminately),” said Rosell. He even said that no excavation permit application and supporting documents reached his table that was up for approval. Rosell said they required the water district to submit their application on April 2, the same day the executive session was conducted; however, no documents were submitted on that day. “Wala man gihapoy naabot sukad niadtong adlawa nga ipasubmit man tanan aron tan-awon aron ipatagad diha-diha dayon,” Rosell said. (Nothing has arrived since that day since everything has to be submitted so that it can be attended to immediately.)“Wala gyud sila’y na submit laktod pagkasulti. Kun naa man silay na submit, asa mana nila gi-submit ug kompleto na ba na?” he added. (They really did not submit anything. If they submitted anything, where did they submit it and is this complete already?)Rosell said should MCWD submit the documents one of these days, he will mark the documents “late” as MCWD was required to submit the application on the same day of the session. Contractors’ wordMCWD information officer Minerva Gerodias on Friday said it’s their contractors that send an application to the City Hall for the excavation permit. Gerodias said they communicate with their contractors and based on their feedback, their applications remain unapproved. Gerodias, however, said the water district has no idea what supporting documents its contractors submitted to the City, explaining that it is the responsibility of the contractors to work on the permits based on their agreement. The pipeline expansion project could have helped provide water to the barangays in the upland areas of the city with water coming from the Lusaran bulk water project. According to a previous report of SunStar Cebu, the pipeline expansion projects could have benefitted 10 mountain barangays. With the absence of pipes that could have provided water to some upland barangays, the water from Lusaran is currently supplying water to Barangays Busay, Lahug, Pit-os and Kamputhaw. ConflictWith the ongoing conflict between MCWD and City Hall, SunStar Cebu asked Rosell whether the City will approve the applications if MCWD will submit the applications, Rosell answered, “The City approves applications as long as the supporting documents are complete.” He added that there is no ongoing conflict between the City and MCWD, only with some of the sitting directors who refused to follow orders from the Local Water Utilities Administration (LWUA). “There is no conflict between the City and MCWD. There are some people there, some directors, who were suspended by LWUA, but refused to step down. The point is I do not see any conflict,” said Rosell in Cebuano. Rosell said it’s the technical infrastructure committee that reviews applications for excavation permits. He said some of the requirements in applying for an excavation permit include location, duration of the excavation, safety measures to be implemented, and excavation plan.The LWUA suspended chairman Jose Daluz III, and directors Miguelito Pato and Jodelyn May Seno for six months last March 15, replacing them with an interim board as the LWUA sought to look into issues at the water district, including the alleged failure to comply with procurement laws. The trio has not recognized the authority of the LWUA to suspend them.
