we are not debating sir. i prefer to see this as meeting of minds. there's a difference. who knows someone is checking out this forum or thread just like i experienced in another thread in this forum and yielded results.

that's how influential istorya is.

I prefer the Mandaue Recla because it has lots of space and a very wide highway.. I think it's also time to give the Mandaue Recla a face lift.. It's getting dirtier and dustier just like the NRA.. It's good to know that the SRP deviated from the trend that the NRA and the mandaue recla took --> a waste land full of containers, warehouses, and squatters..

arnoldsa , that looks like a viable place for the megadome.

Yup because that's really the site of the megadome for the ASEAN Summit.. I dunno if they will utilize the existing structure of the defunt Uniwide Sales but I guess they SHOULD instead of tearing it down and build another costly one! It's a very, very, very big structure, we can get more from it. And also, they only have months to do it..

shabu lab lagi na!

[slakker]

^before you post, be sure you know what you're talking about. the shabu lab is the big warehouse along the road leading to marcelo fernan bridge, not the abandoned uniwide sales structure.

sorry

Target of Megadome
project: ASEAN summit

FOLLOWING normal government procurement procedures would add 30 weeks to the construction time of the Cebu International Convention Center (CICC), Cebu Gov. Gwendolyn Garcia said.

The additional weeks, she said, would be spent choosing contractors to bid for the facility, making it impossible for the CICC, formerly known as the Cebu Megadome, to be finished in time for the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Summit in December.

If the CICC is to be ready by the time the summit is held, Garcia said construction has to start by February, which means alternate procurement procedures must be implemented.

The governor was aiming for a Nov. 6 completion date.

Garcia said Republic Act (RA) 9184 or the Government Procurement Reform Law cites several alternatives.

"Whenever justified by the conditions provided in this act, the procuring entity may, in order to promote economy and efficiency, resort to any of the alternative methods in procuring," Garcia said, quoting a provision of RA 9184.

The governor said she would consult President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo today on which process to use to fast track the budding process and construction of the CICC.

She said she would also discuss with the President preparations for the ASEAN summit.

The Megadome was originally designed as a multi-purpose facility, but concentrated on sports-related activities.

Architect Alexius Medalla, the designer of the CICC, was instructed by the governor recently to modify the design to "insert" a convention area into the lower floors.

Medalla is scheduled to present the new design to Marciano Paynor Jr., Philippine Ambassador to the ASEAN.

The closed-door meeting would allow the ambassador to adjust the CICC's design to suit the number of delegates to the summit and for the summit's many activities.

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.

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...
