Councilor Raymond Garcia, majority floor leader of the Cebu City Council, told CDN Digital that the proposed JVA with New Sky Energy Philippines Inc. should have already been published in a newspaper of general circulation by now. “The city is more than willing to look into a better offer than the original proponent that is why we have to undergo a Swiss Challenge. Pero if walay mochallenge, then we continue with the JVA process with the original proponent,” Garcia said.
If finalized, a six-hectare waste-to-energy facility will be built here that would be operational for 40 years.The City Council’s approval of the proposed JVA with New Sky Energy Philippines Inc. is still not enough assurance of the project’s implementation especially since this still lacks the signature o f Mayor Michael Rama.“We will choose the offer that is most advantageous to the city. Mao man gyod na atong tumong,” Garcia said.
