AFTER MONTHS OF DISPUTE, PARALYSIS
-
The Metropolitan Cebu Water District (MCWD) Board of Directors is finally complete after Cebu City Mayor Nestor Archival appointed Atty. Mariefel Resma Roble to represent the professional sector.
Roble's appointment on January 12, 2026, capped months of uncertainty and governance disputes. Her appointment followed the earlier designation of Ruben Dimataga Almendras to the civic sector last December.
With these two appointments, the board now has five active members, restoring quorum and full sectoral representation as mandated under Presidential Decree 198.
The current lineup includes Engr. Miguelito Pato for the business sector, Atty. Jodelyn May Seno for the women's sector, Atty. Earl Bonachita for the education sector, Almendras for the civic sector, and Roble for the professional sector.
