The petition to stop the P5.5-billion “redevelopment project” of Carbon Public Market in Cebu City has hit a snag after a court dismissed the case filed by former mayor Tomas Osmeña against incumbent city officials and Megawide Construction Corporation.

The judge cited Supreme Court cases that disallow the legal counsel of the petitioner to be the same person to notarize the verification portion of the petition.

In a statement, Megawide and its subsidiary, Cebu 2 World Development Inc., welcomed the dismissal of the case. “Carbon’s progress is visible. It’s felt by all, from vendor to customer. Why should we stop a project that clearly benefits the majority of Cebuanos? Rather than hold Cebu back, we can do more in support of its progress,” Eco said.
