BAGUIO CITY—The city government allotted some P3.5 million to the fencing of its property in Barangay Gibraltar.
City General Services Officer Romeo Concio said the survey of property has been completed and will be submitted to the City Buildings and Architecture Office (CBAO) that will plan the fencing project.
At the same time, concerned city hall departments will look into informal settlers who allegedly built illegal structures on the property.
The City General Services Office and the CBAO will put up monuments on the property to help planners of the fencing project map out its boundaries.
City Legal Officer Melchor Carlos Rabanes urged the local government to take the necessary steps to prevent encroachments on the prime property adjacent to the Wright Park, one of the major tourist destinations in the city.
Concio said the local government must aggressively protect its properties, especially lands, to prevent squatting.
He further said that one of problems encountered while his office did the survey was the absence of a permanent surveyor, but he is still optimistic that the city government will be able to fence the property the soonest.
The detailed plans and specifications for the fencing project will be forwarded to the bids and awards committee that shall bid out the fencing project.
Concio appealed to the informal settlers to cooperate with the city government to avoid difficulties during the fencing.
