Payments for buffet, snacks questioned

June 09, 2025

The Freeman

The Cebu City Council has questioned a purchase order from a company for the assemblies of Cebu City Cooperative Development Council (CCCDC) after some legislators reportedly found the qualification of the supplier sketchy.

The discussion on the matter surfaced after Councilor Francis Esparis, on behalf of Councilor Edgardo “Jaypee” Labella II, moved for the approval of the charging of more than P988,000 against the Maintenance and Other Operating Expenses (MOOE) for the payment of a buffet, with two snack services, during the cooperative development assemblies to Cebu Best Value Trading, and for food and venue services during the cooperative summit and year-end assessment to the Cebu Business Hotel.

During the discussion, Councilor Nestor Archival questioned the clarity of the nature of Cebu Best Value Trading, which had a budget appropriation of P593,000, adding that its name differs from the service they are being paid for.
