IF the Cebu City Council agrees, not only seven sitios in Barangay Apas but all Province-owned lots under Ordinance 93-1 will be rezoned as socialized housing sites and parks.

The council will take up next Wednesday a proposed ordinance that will rezone some 436,000 square meters of land owned by the Provincial Government in 11 barangays in the city.
