A report posted by SugboNews.com, the Capitol’s media arm, said that Cebu Governor Gwendolyn Garcia has already instructed Paul Entera, the Capitol’s consultant on real estate management, to conduct a site orientation and determine the present value of the properties.

The report quoted Entera saying that members of the Actual Occupants and Residences of OPRRA Kalunasan (AOROK) Inc. have expressed interest in purchasing said lots.

A Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) was signed in September 2012 that allows the sale, transfer and conveyance of the identified properties to AOROK.
