Mandaue City Councilor Nerissa Soon-Ruiz has had a change of heart. After earlier voting for a P3.5 billion loan ordinance for the construction of Mandaue’s government center, the councilor is now pushing for a public-private partnership instead.Ruiz, alongside fellow councilors Joel Seno, Andreo Icalina and Ting Sol Cabahug, voiced objections to the loan, emphasizing the potential benefits of a PPP during the regular session at Mandaue City Hall on Monday, July 8, 2024.
She questioned why a larger loan is now being considered. “If we decide to borrow, we are going to burden Mandauehanons through their taxes and other services might be affected because the City has to pay back the loan,” she said.She said the City should instead, seek alternatives to avoid burdening residents with repayment responsibilities. “Why don’t they do it because that’s what they said before that it can be done.
