CEBU CITY, Philippines — The Cebu City government has requested the Ombudsman Visayas to investigate the allegations of corruption and graft practices against the Metropolitan Cebu Water District (MCWD). Lawyer Jerone Castillo, Cebu City legal officer, said there were at least two grounds for the Ombudsman to look into the serious allegations of graft and corruption against current MCWD board members. These include the city government-verified concerns and petition of the MCWD employees against the board, and the opinion of the Office of the Government Corporate Counsel (OGCC) on MCWD's three joint venture agreement drafts for its three bulk water projects in Mactan Island.
