TACLOBAN CITY – The Eastern Visayas Regional Development Council (RDC) has expressed concern over the delay in the completion of the P759-million terminal building at the Daniel Z. Romualdez Airport here.
Private Sector Representative for Multimedia Communication Buenaventura Go-Soco lamented that over P5 billion had been lost for over a year of delay in the airport's facelifting in terms of tourist receipts.
Pocholo Franco, RDC private sector representative for tourism, and president of the Eastern Visayas Tourism Association Inc., said DZR Airport's new passenger terminal building construction is beset with internal problems and the contractor's huge slippage which went unchecked by the implementing agency.
"In our project monitoring visitations, catchup plans by the Ormoc Contractor were submitted. Every monthly Region Project Monitoring Committee Meeting, Catch up Plans, and Variation Orders are submitted which we thought would only delay the completion of Phase 1 of the Project," Franco said.
