Lawyer accuses Rama, MCWD chair of duplicity

THE issue surrounding the Metropolitan Cebu Water District chairmanship has boiled down to legal semantics, prompting a lawyer to accuse Cebu City Mayor Michael Rama and MCWD chairman Jose Daluz III of “unfathomable duplicity.”Amando Virgil Ligutan, the legal counsel of former MCWD board members Augustus Pe Jr., Ralph Sevilla and Cecilia Adlawan, held a press conference on Wednesday, Nov. 8, 2023, where he publicly chastised the two men.“I cannot stomach the duplicity of the person involved.

“Now a question to my clients, do they really like the position? The answer is no. These are successful individuals in their own fields. They don’t like the position, but they are fighting for it by filing a petition in the SC not for them. It is because they know the law,” Ligutan said.Hours after Ligutan ended his press conference, Daluz faced the media to issue a clarification.According to him, it was LWUA that fired Pe, Sevilla and Adlawan, and not Labella.
