CEBU EXPLAINER: Councilors didn t know Carbon market will be torn down, moved to Freedom Park, which confirms they didn t read JVA before approval. Megawide grants 9 of 10 vendor issues.
SunStar File/Google Maps March 16, 2021 CEBU City Councilor Eugenio Gabuya did not know that Units 1, 2 and 3 of the existing Carbon Market will be demolished and replaced with commercial hubs of Megawide Construction Corp., the developer that committed P5.5 billion to modernize the market.
He was clueless about the change until he asked Megawide during a special session of the City Council last Monday, March 15. This fact took time to sink in: the old Carbon would no longer be where they stand now. They would be replaced with other Megawide commercial buildings. Vendors will be moved to a new structure at the Freedom Park and Warwick Barracks area.
