What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

The Commission on Audit reported that Cebu City failed to collect P150 million in guaranteed annual payments from Megawide/Cebu2World for the Carbon Public Market redevelopment between 2023 and 2025. Separately, Cebu’s expanding economy is putting pressure on its electricity system, prompting efforts to strengthen generation and transmission capacity. Aboitiz Power Corp. is developing a 60-megawatt battery energy storage system in Naga City to support rising electricity demand in the Visayas.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The city’s failure to collect guaranteed payments raises questions regarding the fairness of the public-private partnership and potential public revenue loss. Meanwhile, the region’s growth, which recorded a gross regional domestic product of P1.32 trillion in 2025, requires reliable power to sustain economic activity.
