Such expansion can be justified given a fact that the volume of cargo being handled along with it's passengers exceeded, an indication of stable and robust economy..... just bring it on!!!

siguro migs, when everything else is settled down like if the whole bredco project is 100% finished, that will be the time that all of those will take place. also, i guess, with a proper zoning, bredco can become world class and can be comparable to other international ports in the world.

PPA allocates P100M for Tuburan Port Rehabilitation Project

The Philippine Ports Authority (PPA) will allocate P100 million for the proposed development of the Tuburan Port which serves as the local route from the Banate Port of Iloilo to the north of Negros.

The disclosure came from Rep. Alfredo Benitez of the third district of Negros Occidental, who was among the major proponents of the rehabilitation.

He said the design of the proposed port development has already been completed and is set to be presented to Mayor David Albert Lacson of E.B. Magalona.

Benitez reported that he was set to meet with Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) Secretary Manuel A. Roxas II to further discuss the Tuburan Port Project.

Roxas believes that the port could facilitate the sugar trade in Negros Occidental, considering that most of the sugar mills in the province are situated in E.B. Magalona.

He added that the port could also aid in the transport of sugarcane and other products between Negros and Panay Islands.

The rehabilitation plan was initiated by the management of the Victorias Milling Company for the hauling of sugarcane tops from Iloilo.

3 fuel depots to rise at BREDCO

THE Bacolod City reclamation area operated by the Bacolod Real Estate Development Corporation (Bredco) will soon be home to three fuel depots for Bacolod City and Negros Occidental.

Frank Carbon, president of the Metro Bacolod Chamber of Commerce and Industry (MBCCI), said the fuel depots will answer the public’s clamor against higher prices of petroleum products in the province compared to other provinces, especially in Metro Manila.

Carbon said Phoenix Petroleum Philippines Inc. is now constructing its depot in a one-hectare lot inside the reclamation area. The project is expected to be completed in November this year.

Phoenix Philippines already has an existing gasoline station inside the reclamation area.

Aside from Phoenix, Carbon also confirmed that PhilOil has already purchased a one-half-hectare lot from Top Harbor International Inc. and the investor has also confirmed that they are building a depot in the area within this year.

Another small oil player SeaOil is reportedly negotiating for the purchase of a 7,000-square-meter lot also at the reclamation area for a depot.

The reclamation area has reportedly met the specifications for the construction of fuel depots.

The three companies are reportedly eyeing depots with a capacity of five million liters each.

Carbon said business leaders are set to meet with the fuel investors in the city within this month. He said businessmen will assure investors of their support, in terms of securing permits from the concerned government agencies like the Department of Energy (DOE) and the Energy Regulatory Commission.

He also assured support in terms of working out local permits required for such depots.

The DOE has been citing the lack of fuel depots in the province as one of the reasons why petroleum products are more expensive here compared to other provinces.

Phoenix, PhilOil and SeaOil will bring directly to their depots in Bacolod City the petroleum products, which they will import from Taiwan and Singapore.

Carbon said the investors of the three small oil companies are building depots in the Bacolod City to secure the city's independence from the three big oil companies (Petron, Shell and Caltex), in so far as fuel stocks are concerned.

Carbon pointed out that the small oil players choose the reclamation area because they would need shorter pipelines from the depot to the fuel tankers, which can dock at the Bredco port.

"Our fuel prices here would no longer be dictated by the three major oil companies because of the presence of these small players," Carbon pointed out.

With the three depots, more gasoline stations of these three companies are also expected to spread out all over the province.

"They will create a very healthy competition in the oil industry here," Carbon said.
