'Megadome not needed'
Cebu has other venues to host Asean meet, says tourism exec
Published: 8 January 2006

CAN Cebu host this year's 12th Association of Southeast Asian Nations Summit in December without the P250-million Cebu International Convention Center?

For Patrick Gregorio, chairman of the Cebu Visitors and Convention Bureau, the answer is "yes."

"We can actually host the Asean Summit even without the megadome," Gregorio told Cebu Daily News in a telephone interview. "But the summit could be the perfect time to showcase a new landmark such as the megadome."

The province, which has been given the opportunity to host the 17-nation summit, is facing bleak prospects of getting the CICC finished on time to serve as a venue for the meet.

During her visit to Cebu on Friday, President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo turned down the provincial government's request to relax audit rules to hasten the bidding process for the convention center.

Fortunately, Cebu has several alternative venues to choose from in case the CICC fails to materialize, Gregorio said.

One is the Waterfront Cebu City Hotel and Casino in barangay Lahug, which Gregorio dubbed as "the convention hotel in the province of Cebu."

"The Asean Summit does not really require a big venue as long as the place offers world-class amenities and facilities; it will do," he said.

Aside from Waterfront, Gregorio also noted the capability of Shangri-La Mactan Island Resort and Marco Polo Plaza Cebu to serve as venues for the convention.

"Cebu's major hotels are really nice and equipped to hold big international events. That's why Cebu has become a convention destination in the country," Gregorio said.

^^

Yup, Patrick Gregorio was once an exec of Waterfront before he got transferred to Clark..

The Cebu International Convention Center (CICC) formerly known as the megadome cannot be built at the SRP since it is a project of the province, and Cebu City is not a part of Cebu Province; it is independent from it.

hmmmm murag na balik naman tingali ang cebu city sa cebu province havent you heard of it? .... corrct me if am wrong

Wala pa bai.. If you've noticed, Cebu City still has its own congressional districts (North and South)... Although there were plans of fusing the two again especially during the height of the Sugbuak Controversy...
