In a separate interview, CPA information officer Mary Knoll Bolasa told CDN Digital that they started collecting parking fees in the area last Jan, 16, 2023, after a writ of preliminary injunction was issued in their favor.“What we can say for now is that the area [that is being used for pay parking] is within the CPA premises and one of the designated pay parking areas of the CPA,” Bolasa added.
At the same time, he also publicly declared “war” with CPA following their disagreements on the ownership and use of the Compania Maritima. On December 23, 2022, Judge Soliver Peras directed the Cebu City government to “restore and maintain the Republic and CPA’s peaceful possession and occupation of the entire Compania Maritima Area.”
