Mambaling underpass (File photo) April 05, 2021 CEBU City Mayor Edgardo Labella asked Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Secretary Mark Villar to send in experts and look into the “functionality and structural integrity” of the underpass along N. Bacalso Ave. in Mambaling, Cebu City.
In a letter addressed to Villar dated April 3, 2021, the mayor said that the multi-million underpass was heavily flooded within just 30 minutes of rain.
“This made the area unpassable, causing vehicular traffic in the area, which is a busy thoroughfare in Cebu City. This is now becoming a normal occurrence during the rains in Cebu City,” Labella said.

+ April 05, 2021 CART BEFORE THE HORSE. The Cebu City Council is trying to correct its mistake in authorizing Mayor Edgardo Labella to sign the P5.5-billion joint venture agreement (JVA) before it could read the 75-plus pages contract.
When it raised a louder howl over terms allegedly disadvantageous to the City Government, the deed was already sealed, the ground broken, and Megawide Construction Corp., the developer, was set to start construction.
Broadcaster-columnist Bobby Nalzaro, in a series of opinion columns in SunStar, thrashed Vice Mayor Mike Rama, leader in the legislative outcry to overhaul the agreement, for questioning after the fact, assailing the terms after it had approved the contract. Just like, Nalzaro said, putting the cart before the horse.
