Councilor welcomes creation of city architect's office
DAVAO City Councilor Jose Louie P. Villafuerte Thursday welcomed proposal of architects in Davao City to establish a City Architect Office.
Villafuerte, chair of the City Council Committee on Appointment and Government Reorganization, said the proposal is good, citing the city's lack of architects.
"Marami tayong engineers pero wala masyadong mga architect. We will study further the proposal," Villafuerte said.
During the committee hearing on the matter Thursday, Architect Leonida Santos said she believes that if architects will be tapped to participate in a certain project, the city will be better off.
Santos, however, refused to comment on the controversial design and structure of the unfinished roof deck at the City Council building. "I do not want to criticize other's work," she said. (AAG)
