Cases vs CPA stem from illegal constructions, not ownership dispute

SunStar Publishing Inc.

THE criminal and administrative cases filed against the Cebu Port Authority do not concern ownership, but rather the illegal construction of buildings and a wharf in front of the Compaña Maritima premises.This is what Cebu City Legal Officer Carlo Vincent Gimena told members of the media during an interview on Monday, March 18, 2028, in response to inquiries about the statement released by the CPA on Saturday, March 16, 2024.

Gimena said there is nothing under PD 1096 that exempts the CPA from obtaining a building permit, challenging the port authority to cite a specific provision that supports such exemption.Gimena argued that regarding the issue at hand, it does not matter who owns the premises, emphasizing that the fact remains: if anyone constructs any infrastructure, they should secure the necessary building permits from the OBO.
