Acting vice mayor defends renting portalets, portabaths

ACTING Cebu City Vice Mayor Donaldo “Dondon” Hontiveros defended the procurement process for the rental of portalets, portabaths and other items that will be used in the Palarong Pambansa in July.In an interview with reporters on Tuesday, May 21, 2024, Hontiveros said it’s more cost-effective than purchasing new ones.The City allocated a budget of P18 million to rent 478 portalets and portabaths that will be spread across 20 schools that will serve as billeting quarters for visiting delegates.

This was his reaction to Acting Mayor Raymond Alvin Garcia who directed the Bids and Awards Committee to suspend all Palarong Pambansa-related procurements last Monday, May 20, so he could review them.A vlogger had alleged that the City had allotted P21 million to rent portalets and portabaths, plus another P11 for tumblers. He said the City also had another budget for bed rolls and blankets, among others.
