In a report, the Capitol’s official news portal, Sugbo News, said Governor Gwendolyn Garcia met with telecommunication players and representatives of the Visayan Electric Company and Metropolitan Cebu Water District on Thursday, Jan. 26, 2023, to discuss the matter. “Lucero apologized to the governor for the infringement, adding that they believed all along that the lot they were occupying had road-right-of-way, them being portions of sidewalks beside a major thoroughfare in the city,” the report said.
However, the Department of Public Works and Highways that constructed the road violated this plan when it added four more meters in width for the road and six meters for the sidewalk , effectively encroaching on Capitol properties where the utility boxes now stand.For their part, Edgar Donoso, MCWD general manager, said he would await the decision of their board on whether they would pay rent to Capitol or bring the matter to court.
