The Cebu Provincial Board is considering an ordinance sponsored by Board Member Stanley Caminero to mandate EV charging stations at strategic provincial government facilities, including a centralized Green Mobility Charging Station with socialized fees based on financial capacity. The board separately approved a resolution on 6 July to install four charging stations at the Cebu Provincial Capitol Compound, with two at the Legislative Building and two at the Executive Building. The ordinance, presented at a committee meeting on 16 July 2026, is now scheduled for second reading and aims to leverage public private partnerships and a Cebu Green Mobility Trust Fund to expand the network across component cities and municipalities.
Why it matters: The socialized pricing model and formal PPP framework signal a replicable procurement approach for public sector charging rollouts in emerging markets. The phased municipal adoption plan creates a pipeline of potential tenders across Cebu province for CPOs and infrastructure suppliers.
