Mayor Osmeña said in a meeting with Cebu eSports United that he is in full support to eSports and the cosplay community, “I am fully supportive of Cebu eSports United’s plan to gather all our Cebuano gamers at the grassroots level and use their passions as a means to prevent drug-use, educate youth to discipline themselves and manage their time wisely, and support the talents of both the gamers and the artists of the Cebuano gaming and cosplay community. Let it be known that from now on, they are recognized as the official partners of the Cebu City Government” he said in his Facebook Post.
