(AP Photo) MAYOR Tomas Osmeña wants new infrastructure projects to head for Cebu City’s south district, saying it is not his concern whether or not the Provincial Government gains revenues from its Ciudad project, which is up north. “I will no longer take into consideration the concerns of the Province because it’s none of my business. It’s her business, not mine,” he told a press conference in his house yesterday afternoon. The mayor issued the statement a day after Cebu Gov. Gwendolyn Garcia said she was ready to take “the necessary steps” to protect the Province’s interests and push through with Ciudad, the Capitol’s joint venture with a private developer.
