City Hall to hospital: stop wall construction

THE Cebu City Rivers Management Council (CCRMC) issued a cease-and-desist order against the construction of a retaining wall that Chong Hua Hospital is building.

CCRMC Chair Jose Daluz III said the construction had to be stopped because it encroached on the Guadalupe River.

The wall seems to be in the middle of the river.

Daluz said there was misinterpretation in the construction of the retaining wall.

Instead of having the wall repaired, another retaining wall was constructed as a reinforcement.

Atty. Dean Decal of Chong Hua Hospital said CCRMC asked them to stop the construction early this month and the hospital respected that.

The construction was halted since the order was received.

Daluz said he received word from the hospital that it will not continue the construction until the issue will be resolved.

The former councilor said an agreement between the Cebu City Government and Chong Hua Hospital has to be penned before construction can resume.

Decal said the Office of the Building Official already gave the hospital clearance for the construction but with a provision that a clarification be issued by the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH)-Central Visayas.
