Iligan City — This city has finally decided to relocate the terminal for southbound public vehicles to the National Steel Grounds in Tominobo here.
Earlier plans for transfer was on Feb. 24 at Tambo where the terminal for northbound public vehicles are located.
City Information Officer Jose Pantoja said the reason for the city’s decision to change the location of the terminal was traffic congestion.
An ocular inspection by the Gold Star Daily, however, showed the site was not ideal as the site is muddy.
Dispatchers, drivers, vendors and specially the commuting public voiced their dissatisfaction with it as aside from the place being muddy, structures are still in the process of being built.
To recall, the Ombudsman’s directive, the site of said terminal formerly at Camague, have to be transferred. Officials led by then mayor Lawrence Cruz were slapped by the Ombudsman with perpetual disqualification to run for public office even as it also found them liable for criminal charges with the Sandiganbayan.
Pantoja said the present site is “only temporary” since it will be transferred soon to a better location within the National Steel Grounds.
