City poised to build P80M port terminal
By Maricar Aranas
DUMAGUETE City is set to build a passenger terminal worth P80 million at its port in Barangay Looc.
Mayor Agustin Perdices said construction of the project could begin on the first quarter of next year if everything is finalized this year.
Perdices said the Philippine Ports Authority (PPA) estimated an P80 million budget to build the for the port facility.
He said he expects the bidding for the project in the remaining months of the year and if the process were completed, the building of the long-awaited passenger terminal would begin in the first quarter of 2007.
Perdices said the Dumaguete project is patterned after the terminal in Bataan but the city would use the design made by architects Bobby Duray and Dean Sinco of Foundation University.
Both architects have already authorized PPA to use their design.
The passenger terminal would be built in front of the Philippine Coast Guard building at the pier.
It would be equipped with enough facilities to handle passenger volume, fully-air-conditioned, and a better aesthetic compared to other passenger terminals in other cities.
