CEBU CITY, Philippines -- The Board of Directors (BOD) of the Metropolitan Cebu Water District (MCWD) has filed a case to nullify both the notice of termination issued against them by Cebu City

CEBU CITY, Philippines — The Board of Directors of the Metropolitan Cebu Water District has filed a case to nullify both the notice of termination issued against them by Cebu City Mayor Edgardo Labella and the decision of the Local Water Utility Association to appoint an interim board.

Furthermore, the BOD said the LWUA overstepped its function by designating an interim board instead of strengthening the independence and autonomy of MCWD as a local water utility.Of the five terminated members of the BOD, only Pe, Adlawan and Sevilla filed the case because Yu resigned on October 22, 2019, a week after the termination. Fernandez has said he would not defy the termination order of Labella.

In the complaint, the remaining directed asked to be compensated at P1 million each for the “damages incurred” by their “illegal” termination.
