Former Cebu City Councilor Mary Ann Delos Santos demands transparency with the construction of the city hospitalCEBU CITY, Philippines — Former Cebu City Councilor Mary Ann Delos Santos demanded transparency with the construction of the Cebu City Medical Center .
“Presently, the Local Finance Committee is deliberating my request for additional One Billion budget for the CCMC as part of the proposed Supplemental Budget No. 1 . I am confident that the City Council will approve it,” said the notice.Delos Santos pointed out that this document contradicts the verbal statements of the mayor in media interviews in the last week of May 2021, when he said the city is about to award the contract to a contractor.
“There is no doubt it is urgent that we complete CCMC’s construction as soon as possible to address Cebu City’s acute health care needs. It is doubtful, however, if the Mayor, or his City Administrator, had this in mind when he decided to cancel the implementation of Phase 4 of CCMC,” she said.
