What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

Vice Mayor Tomas Osmeña recommended suspending construction at Monterrazas de Cebu until flood-control measures are fully operational, arguing that upland development could accelerate stormwater runoff toward low-lying communities in Cebu City. Later, after monsoon rains inundated at least 11 major areas of Cebu City, Mayor Nestor Archival created a multi-agency task force to inventory waterways and conduct emergency desilting.
