Cebu City Mayor Nestor Archival is balancing urgent city matters with national and international commitments. While monitoring an incoming weather disturbance, he will also attend a key meeting in Manila and speak at a conference in Japan. His focus remains on both local safety and broader urban development goals.

On November 24, 2025, Mayor Archival will join the National Peace and Order Council (NPOC) meeting in Manila. The same day, he is set to deliver a speech at the Smart Cities Conference in Yokohama, Japan. There, he aims to collect best practices and solutions for making Cebu City more sustainable, smart, and inclusive.

Mayor Archival’s schedule reflects a mix of disaster preparedness and long-term planning. His participation in the Yokohama conference could bring new strategies for Cebu’s development. Meanwhile, local authorities will need to manage weather-related risks without his direct oversight.
