Cebu City Hall’s executive building will be renovated under mayor-elect Michael Rama’s administration.
The renovation is seen to complement the
restoration of other historical lands in the downtown area.
Rama, the current city vice mayor, said he wants the legislative building to connect to the executive building’s ground floor, where he intends to hold office when he assumes as city mayor.
He also wants to complete the restoration of Plaza Independencia, the Rizal Memorial Public Library and the old buildings that will be part of the waterfront area during his term.
Rama said the renovation does not have to start right away since the City Treasurer’s Office’s sections on the ground floor should also be given time to relocate.
â€The executive building needs renovation but I don’t know if it’s too soon. I’ve always been dreaming for it to look like what we have here in the legislative building. It should not have one entrance and when you get in the main entrance, you should be able to go to the executive,†Rama said.
Cebu City Hall’s legislative and executive buildings are two separate structures that have their own entrances and exists, but a ramp was built on the second floor to connect both buildings.
The legislative building was closed in 2006 for a major renovation, which cost the City government P120 million. - pna
