                    [Summary] => CEBU — Former governor Emilio Osmeña has denied having a hand in the proposed construction of the multimillion-peso megadome in Mandaue City.


Admitting that the construction of the megadome is unstoppable, Osmeña said he cannot be associated with it because he is not connected in any capacity with the provincial government.


He fears that people might think that his party, Probinsiya Muna Development Initiative (Promdi), had a hand in planning the project.
