BREDCO Port
Local News: SP to Conduct Hearing on Port Zone Delineation
Two giant entities are seeking the intervention of the Sangguniang Panlungsod of Bacolod City regarding the establishment of Banago Port in Brgy. Banago.
The Philippine Ports Authority (PPA) through its Port Manager Engr. Enrique Fuen-tebaja, requested the SP for favorable endorsement to the City Development Council (CDC), which is necessary for the establishment of the Banago Public Port. While earlier, Atty. Simplico Palanca, president of BREDCO, operating the BREDCO Port at the Reclamation Area, which is just a few kilometers from the proposed Banago Public Port, has sent a letter to the SP opposing the Banago Port Development Project. Aside from that, during the recent meeting of the CDC, the annual investment plan of the barangays submitted by the barangay captains were recognized by CDC.
Opinion: Preposterous - BREDCO Versus Banago Port
WHATEVER THE ARGUMENT. The ongoing arguments, debates and brickbats exchanged
between officials of the Philippine Port Authority (PPA), and the Bacolod Real
Estate Development Corporation (BREDCO) should be resolved in the interest of
the people, not in the interest of the operators or private owners, we so
believe and advance.
BREDCO officials may have their own arguments and may die trying to propound it, but preventing the reopening of Banago Port asa government port is preposterous. And why? It is because this is precisely a government port and is supposed to cater to the interest of the people. Private owners are in there for profits and not for service or that service is only secondary or tertiary to its quest for profits.
