Seares: Who’d offer a P2.5M bounty on Cebu Gov. Pam Baricuatro’s pretty head? Not Gwen Garcia who can slash or hack with words but loathes physical violence. Not Glenn Soco, next in line of succession but doesn’t look a bit villainous.

CEBU. Newly elected chairman of the board Ruben Almendras and seal of the MCWD.

Seares: The bad news from MCWD: In 2025, your water district lost P765M with negative cash flow of P342M. It produces water at P35.70/cu.m., sells at P1.03/cu.m. Consumers to pay more this May under LWUA-OK'd rates. But more increase/s needed to make MCWD profitable again.

Seares: DENR, NBI probes might nail those responsible for Binaliw landfill deaths. As Cebu City Council continues fact-finding, even without full-blown investigation that VM Tomas Osmeña shuns.

National Bureau of Investigation-Central Visayas Director Jose Ermie Monsanto and Vice Mayor Tomas Osmeña.

Seares: NBI probe on Binalliw landfill deaths doesn’t make City Council inquiry irrelevant. Why VM Tomas Osmeña’s reasons for rejecting Sanggunian inquiry may not fly.
