The old city hall at downtown area will be fully utilized as proposed by members of the Sangguniang Panlungsod in the session yesterday.
Councilors El Cid Familiaran, Sonia Verdeflor, Archie Baribar, Catalino Alisbo and Elmer Sy, have jointly resolved that the building be used for various purposes, in line with the one-stop-shop service approach of the city to the constituents; and to erase the misconceptions of the public that the said edifice has been abandoend by the city. The groundfloor shall be used by the offices of the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG), People’s Law and Enforcement Board (PLEB), Bacolod Traffic Authority office (BTAO), City printing Office, and Land Transportation, Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB). The second floor will remain as the mayor’s office, while the 3rd and 4th floors will be used for extension of Bacolod City College considering the inevitable increase in enrolment of the said school. Dr. Johanna Bayoneta, OIC Administrator, BCC said, "it is good news but it needs assessment first depending when it will be ready for occupancy suited to classroom setting, and the need of the department. We consider our most populated program, the Associate on Information System (AIS) as initial target." Presently, other classes of this course are temporarily conducted at the Bacolod City National High School. Yet, the need for classrooms is not addressed. The decision of the city legislators to allow BCC to use the 3rd and 4th floors of the vacated city hall is a great move.* By Edith B. Colmo Negros
