Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority (SBMA) Chairman Martin Diño and Administrator Atty. Wilma Eisma met with freeport investors and stakeholders who raised various issues and concerns during a radio program at Grand Harbor Hotel.
The radio program “Pagawa at Iba pa” was the venue for locators such as Hanjin Heavy Industries and Construction – Philippines (HHIC-Phil), Global Terminal and Development, Inc. and other companies to voice out some issues that their companies are currently facing.
One of the issues was the repair of the Balaybay-Subic-Cawag Access Road used by shipbuilding personnel to report for work at the Redondo Shipbuilding Facility of Hanjin.
According to Hanjin Executive Director Pyung Jong Yu, the access road is used by tens of thousands of employees who work at the shipyard.
The road, he said, has been incomplete especially near the Club Morocco Beach Resort and Country Club.
He added that a patch of the road there has been wiped off by recent typhoons and has been a bane for them whenever they have to go to Subic Freeport.
Eisma said that the agency will look into the matter, citing that the local government unit (LGU) governing should help in fixing the access road.
She cited contiguous areas such as Morong must take part in fixing roads that connected their area to the Freeport.
Eisma stated that the SBMA will talk to the LGUs to fix the roads using the revenue shares they get from the agency.
She said that these shares should be utilized to further enhance their areas as part of the development scheme of both the municipality and the Freeport.
Another issue that a locator cited was the Common Use Service Area (CUSA) and the environment and tourism administrative fee (ETAF).
But the administrator pointed out that these fees are necessary in maintaining cleanliness and orderliness inside the Freeport zone. (Jonas Reyes. Manila Bulletin)
