Archival's top priority: Clean and orderly Cebu City

The Freeman

June 07, 2025

Even before officially assuming office, Cebu City Mayor-elect Nestor Archival has made it clear that a clean and orderly city is his priority—starting with its major thoroughfares.

One of his immediate concerns is ensuring that Package 1 of the Cebu Bus Rapid Transit (CBRT) project along Osmeña Boulevard is completed before the end of the month.

To move this forward, Archival conducted a site inspection and noted several unfinished tasks, including the center island stations.

"Daghan kaayo ko'g observations. Number one, daghan sila'g ginagmay nga trabaho nga di gyud mahuman. Una, ang center island nga stations," Archival said via the City's Public Information Office.

Archival stressed the need to wrap up all pending works and ensure that no construction workers remain on-site beyond this month.
