CEBU CITY, Philippines — Cebu City Vice Mayor Tomas “Tommy” Osmeña said the city should not wait for public outrage, or worse, loss of life, before acting on safety concerns linked to the Monterrazas development.

In a Facebook post on Monday afternoon, June 15, 2026, Osmeña said the Monterrazas issue may no longer be in the public eye, but he would continue to raise it because residents living below the development could face serious risks.

“The issue of Monterrazas is not currently in the public eye, but I don’t care,” Osmeña said.

“It would be irresponsible and shortsighted to wait for public clamor to address it,” he added.
