CEBU CITY, Philippines — Cebu City Mayor Michael Rama is determined to conduct another round of investment “begging” for the completion of the Cebu City Medical Center after he announced his intention to terminate the existing P900-million contract for the 10-story CCMC project.
Lawyer Jerone Castillo, the mayor’s assistant for special projects, maintained that there is a “sufficient and factual” legal ground for the city to terminate the contract and guaranteed that the termination process, to be initiated by a Contract Termination Review Committee, will be “objective, fair, and deliberative.”
“The project is supposed to be 2015 pa ni nga hospital. So, we must act with expediency. Dugay na. Long overdue na. Napakyas sila pag deliver sa angay nilang buhaton,” he added. He said the termination will take effect once the process is completed. In the meantime, the contractor will have to stop their work at the CCCMC while the contract is under review.
To recall, the mayor gave the contractor until October 28, which is his birthday, to finish construction of the hospital.
