In a separate interview, Wenceslao talked about that the matter has since been clarified by the undertaking engineers, however he acknowledged his preliminary confusion because of the earlier allocation of funds for the Palarong Pambansa in Cebu.
“Through the price range listening to, the greater than the 200 million might be for lighting services, kay in accordance sa govt division, en kaso og init kaayo, katong mga dula sa udto ibutang sa gabie in order that’s why, it needs to be lighted. Mao nang namalit sila og LED nga hayad kaayo. Second, naa silay LED wall nga palitunon roughly nga 100 million kay dagko og daghan unhappy . I believe there are six na,” he stated.
He added, “The remainder might be for the development of the grandstand, and I believed, ako ng gi make clear, kay I believed apil na sa building sa grandstand ang benches.”
Because the undertaking engineers clarified that the benches usually are not included within the P200 million appropriations, Wenceslao suggested them to let appearing mayor Raymond Alvin Garcia evaluate and approve the request to cost it to Pagcor funds so he may make the mandatory resolutions accordingly.
