Garcia to appoint replacement for dismissed City Hall officials

The Freeman

April 01, 2025

Cebu City Mayor Raymond Alvin Garcia is set to appoint replacements for employees dismissed alongside former Mayor Michael Rama over a multimillion peso garbage deal.

- Iris Hazel Mascardo, Jonnavie Villa/ATO.

This follows the recent decision of the Office of the Ombudsman to dismiss Rama, marking his second dismissal after a prior order related to a loan scam case.

The latest decision stemmed from a complaint filed by Jandel Bontuyan regarding three purchase orders (PO) for garbage collection and disposal services, which were allegedly awarded to favored companies: Jomara Konstructcurt Corp., ACM Hauling Services, and ARN Central Waste Management Inc.

Bontuyan claimed in his affidavit that these suppliers were chosen “without the benefit of competitive public bidding.”
