The Asia Pacific Economic
Cooperation (APEC) Ministerial meeting is fast approaching.
Sadly, the Tourism Infrastructure
and Enterprise Zone Authority’s (TIEZA) budget for street lights project has no
update yet.
Meaning, the broken street lights
will not be changed for now.
This was confirmed by Municipal
Engineer OIC Engr.Arnold Solano in his text message.
Solano, on the other hand
explained that they will use their P5 Million budget from LGU Malay in case
that the TIEZA’s fund will not be available.
On his previous statement, Solano
also said that TIEZA asked for the program of works from the local government.
Meanwhile, the street lights were
found out to be part of the drainage system project of the then Philippine
Tourism Authority (PTA), which is now TIEZA.
It was not however formally
turned over to LGU due to some issues and problems.
Currently, the LGU Malay will
take charge of the street light project as part of their preparation for APEC
on May 2015.
It will be recalled that
accidents involving tourists were recorded blamed to the lack or damaged street
lights at the main road of Boracay.
