BACOLOD City – Discussions on the terminal site offer to the city government will be held today after the executive-legislative caucus set on Monday was postponed. Mayor Monico Puentevella ordered the postponement, said Councilor El Cid Familiaran. The reason was unclear at press time. Yanson Realty Development Corp. (YRDC) offered to donate a 5-hectare lot on Circumferential Road, Barangay Tangub here, for the proposed new Bacolod Southbound Terminal. The Sangguniang Panlungsod (SP) called for the executive-legislative caucus last week to clarify issues surrounding the offer. Familiaran said the SP wanted some provisions in YRDC’s deed of donation revised so they would be compliant with City Ordinance No. 08-15-746, which sets guidelines for the construction of new terminals. After which it may give Puentevella the authority to accept the offer. In the deed of donation, YRDC said the new terminal should also house public utility vehicles bound for San Carlos City and Murcia and Don Salvador Benedicto towns. These three areas are on the eastern side of Negros Occidental, but the terminal caters to southbound vehicles, Familiaran said. He said the city council will also seek clarifications with regards to the access road that YRDC wanted built toward the terminal. Representatives from YRDC were invited to the caucus, said Councilor Ana Marie Palermo, chair of the SP committee on laws, ordinances and good governance./PN By MAE SINGUAY
