What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The World Bank loan to finance the Cebu Bus Rapid Transit project is scheduled to close on September 30, 2026. The loan restructuring resulted in the cancellation of $59.9 million of the funding and the removal of civil works for Packages 2 and 3 due to resettlement and right-of-way delays. Cebu City is currently reviewing compensation claims from property owners affected by the project.
