CEBU City Mayor Michael Rama has refused to sit down with the Provincial Government to address issues surrounding the Cebu Bus Rapid Transit project, reiterating his desire to file charges against officials who called for the project’s halt, especially Cebu Gov. Gwendolyn Garcia.“No. I don’t want to sit down with them. Why will I have to sit down? They should know where they are; that’s a matter of territory,” Rama said in an interview on Friday, March 8, 2024.
Declining to have a dialogue, Rama said he would proceed with filing charges against those who want to stop the CBRT project, especially Governor Garcia.“I am going now into connecting with my lawyers because I am very, very serious in filing cases even against the governor,” Rama said.When asked on what grounds the City would be filling the case, Rama said he would let the city lawyers prepare it.
