Meanwhile, the SP approved a resolution Wednesday, authored by Councilor Roberto Rojas, requesting the Bacolod Real Estate Development Corporation to clean up and to cut down cogon grasses at the Reclamation Area.
The resolution said unfortunate events such as hold-up, robbery and rape have occurred in the vacant lots in the Reclamation Area and the location also serves as hiding places for criminals being pursued by the police. During the session Wednesday, Councilor Archie Baribar asked what actions the city would take if BREDCO fails to comply. “We will take over,” Councilor Al Victor Espino, chairman of the SP Committee on Environment, replied in jest, being aware of a pending case filed by BREDCO against the city and some of its officials involving the “Takeover Ordinance.” Acting Vice Mayor El Cid Familiaran said there is a provision in City Ordinance 303 or the Environment Code which states that the city can undertake the work and charge the labor cost to the concerned individuals or establishments.
