Mister Loo Philippines (MLP), the operator of paid comfort rooms at the Cebu South Bus Terminal (CSBT) and Cebu North Bus Terminal (CNBT), has asked for a few days to review their existing contract, which is under scrutiny following Gvoernor Pamela Baricuatro’s executive order no. 12 titled, “Free Use of Regular Public Comfort Room Facilities in All Provincial Terminals”.

EO 12 cited Republic Act No. 11311 prohibiting the collection of fees for the use of regular terminal sanitary facilities.

Capitol has granted the request.

“If at some point dili acceptable nila, we are in favor of terminating the contract,” she said.

To ease concerns that businesses might be discouraged from partnering with the Cebu Provincial Government due to possible contract terminations with every new administration, Baricuatro said legitimate enterprises have nothing to fear if they operate fairly and in the interest of the public.

“There’s nothing to be worried about. Kung tinarong nga negosyo, there’s no reason nganong i-terminate ang kontrata og naprotektahan ang rights sa mga taga-probinsiya sa Sugbo,” said Baricuatro in an interview yesterday.
