Mayor's Authority Challenged: MCWD Board Directors Cannot Be Removed, Says LWUA

Mayor 'cannot remove' MCWD board directors: A dispute arises over the appointment and removal of board directors at the Metropolitan Cebu Water District (MCWD). While Mayor Michael Rama claims the authority to appoint new directors, the Local Water Utilities Administration (LWUA) argues otherwise, citing Presidential Decree 198. The LWUA states that local executives have no authority to remove board members. The conflicting interpretations of the law have led to a standoff between the old and new board members.
