On August 24, 2025, a significant event took place as 49 municipal mayors and 6 component city mayors from various districts across Cebu province came together to issue a joint statement. The League of Municipalities of the Philippines-Cebu Chapter spearheaded this collaborative effort, focusing on flood control and infrastructure transparency.

In the 4th District, Tabuelan Mayor Rex Gerona, Tabogon Mayor Francis Salimbangon, Santa Fe Mayor Ithamar Espinosa, San Remigio Mayor Mariano Martinez, and Daanbantayan Mayor Gilbert Arrabis Jr. put their signatures on the document. Additionally, Bantayan Mayor Orlando Layese and Madridejos Mayor Romeo Villaceran lent their support from the same district.

Mayors from the 3rd District also joined the initiative, including Aloguinsan Mayor Cesare Ignatius Moreno, Asturias Mayor Dana Andrew Dumdum, Balamban Mayor Amos Edwin Cabahug, Barili Mayor Pablo John Garcia IV, Pinamungajan Mayor Glenn Baricuatro, and Tuburan Mayor Christian Diamante.

In the 5th District, Borbon Mayor Nico Dotillos, San Francisco Mayor Alfredo Arquillano Jr., Poro Mayor Edgar Rama, Catmon Mayor Avis Monleon, Carmen Mayor Carlo Villamor, Liloan Mayor Aljew Frasco, Tudela Mayor Greman Solante, Sogod Mayor Lissa Marie Streegan, Pilar Mayor Manuel "Winky" Santiago, and Compostela Mayor Felijur Quiño all signed the statement.

From Cebu's 1st District, Minglanilla Mayor Rajiv Enad, San Fernando Mayor Mytha Canoy, and Sibonga Mayor Caroline Bacaltos also pledged their support. The component cities' mayors who signed were Talisay City Mayor Gerald Anthony Gullas Jr., Naga City Mayor Valdemar Chiong, Carcar City Mayor Mario Patricio Barcenas, Toledo City Mayor Marjorie Perales, and Bogo City Mayor Maria Fernandez.

From the 6th District, Cordova Mayor Cesar "Didoy" Suan and Consolacion Mayor Teresa Alegado put their names on the joint statement.

Regrettably, the search results do not contain information about the five mayors of Cebu province who declared their support for transparency in flood mitigation and infrastructure projects on August 24, 2025, including their names or the districts or cities they represent. This article will be updated as more information becomes available.

This joint statement marks a significant step towards ensuring transparency and effective flood control measures in Cebu province, demonstrating the collective commitment of its mayors to the welfare and safety of their constituents.
