Allegations of bias have surfaced regarding the procurement system in Cebu City. Cebu City Administrator Albert Tan has voluntarily stepped aside from his post and as chairman of the bids and awards committee (BAC) to allow Mayor Nestor Archival to investigate the complaints. The concerns stem from suppliers who claimed they were not granted equal access to bidding documents. Tan stated that his move was to allow the inquiry to proceed and to clear his name alongside the current administration.
