Brosas has authored Resolution 2051 in Congress calling on the committee on local government to investigate the P5.5 billion modernization project of the Cebu City government and Megawide. The congresswoman also urged the vendors to call on their own District Representatives and other Cebu Representatives in Congress to co-author the resolution to highlight the need for the inquiry and investigation.
The investigation would also identify if the JVA has indeed faults in the contract and the Congress can make interventions for such.Cebu City South District Representative Rodrigo “Bebot” Abellanosa, told CDN Digital, that he has long lobbied for a Congressional Inquiry on the Carbon Market JVA as early as July 27, 2021, around the same time Gabriela filed theirs.
“With only one week to go before the election campaign break, the concerned House committees might be able to convene after the elections, or we look forward to carrying this over to the succeeding 19th Congress,” said Abellanosa in a text message.
