Former Cebu City vice mayor Donaldo “Dondon” Hontiveros has dismissed as “false and misleading” the graft allegations raised by incumbent Vice Mayor Tomas Osmeña regarding the purchase of television units for the 2024 Palarong Pambansa.

Hontiveros clarified to The Freeman that the 16 brand-new television sets being questioned were not acquired for the Palaro but were part of the Department of Education’s nationwide computerization program.

He said added that a separate batch of televisions was procured specifically for the Palaro upon DepEd’s formal request to equip media monitoring rooms, facilities designed to provide real-time coverage for the public and the press.
