Disputed P18-B resorts and casino project to break ground Aug. 25
THE CONTROVERSIAL P18-billion integrated resorts and casino project on Kawit Island will break ground on Aug. 25, Cebu City Executive Assistant to the Mayor Francisco “Bimbo” L. Fernandez said in an interview with the media yesterday. The project will be undertaken by the Gokongwei-led Universal Hotels and Resorts, Inc., (UHRI), which signed a Joint Venture Agreement (JVA) with the city government last Aug. 17. Opposition city council members have filed a case seeking to void the resolution authorizing Cebu City Mayor Tomas R. Osmeña to enter into a JVA with UHRI as well as a temporary restraining order on the project. — The Freeman
