13PhP 40M for Tanauan Public Market Rehabilitation! Favor or Not Favor?

ARE YOU IN FAVOR FOR THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT UNIT (LGU) OF TANAUAN TO RESORT TO BORROWINGS FROM THE BANKS IN THE AMOUNT OF P40M FOR THE TOTAL REHABILITATION OF THE PUBLIC MARKET?
FACTS:
The Tanauan Public Market is patronized not only by Tanauananons but by those from neighboring towns like Tolosa, Tabon, Dagami, Palo, Burauen and even Tacloban. Buildings at the public market are dilapidated and need immediate repair or replacement. The amount needed is estimated at P40M to replace the old buildings with new structures and elevation of the area. The income of the LGU is not enough to finance the whole cost at one time.
If ever, it will take not less than 5 years to finish it using the funds of the LGU. This would mean 5 years or more of dislocation and disturbance to our market vendors and market goers. The cost may also increase as the materials is increasing every year. Actually, this is what had happened to our Municipal Hall construction.
On the other hand, per the feasibility study made, the present financial condition of the LGU would allow us to borrow from banks up to P70M but only the amount of P40M will be sourced as it will be enough already and the LGU can well afford to pay it in 7 years time. Basic services will not be affected even if the LGU will resort to borrowings. Local income is sufficient to pay the amortization. Construction period will last for 6 months only.
The LGU does not have any loan obtained ever since and does not have any liability to anybody. Should the LGU decide to resort to borrowings, it will make sure that a public hearing will first be conducted and the Sangguniang Bayan give its Legislative authority.

Wow.. this is a lot of money! 40 million pesos for rehabilitation only of Tanauan public market?
1. Pakiana ko la, maka benipisyo ba ini dida hit kadam-an nga mga Tanauanon?
2. Makakaghatag ba ini trabaho dida hit kadam-an nga mga Tanaunanon?
3. Mangangadto ba ini ngatanan nga kwarta dida hit plano nga merkado?
Kahusay siguro hini nga merkado kun mahuman.

forty million pesos for just rehabilitation of our public market is too much. kami lugod nga aadi ha uma it tagi budget niyo. it amon kalsada ngadi utod utod it pagka semento.

I agree with this 40 million borrowings in the bank but it must have a Public Hearing first so that every Tanauananon knows this issue and get their side.
Mabuhay ang Tanauan Leyte. Mabuhay si Mayor Tiu.

For me… PhP 40,000.000.00 should be divided into two. 20M for Rehabilitation of Tanauan Public Market and the another 20M should go to Livelihood Program.

40 million is a huge amount just for our public market. there are so many other things to consider rather than our public market. i agree with “mag-uuma” that some roads from barangays to town are lubak lubak if not dire sementado. irrigation system is other thing. i ask my cousin if the new munisipyo is occupied already, and sad to say waray la ghap mahuhuman daw.
The public market is a good revenue earner in favor of LGU. They’re hitting 2 birds in one stone, the RENT and of course the LOCAL TAXES, but is it appropriate to borrow 40 million just for rehabilitation of merkado ha yana nga panahon?

Our market does need upgrading. Currently the projected costs are P 40 million. Delaying the upgrade will increase the overall costs. Since 2002 the costs of building materials has nearly doubled. Had we done this 5 years ago the cost would have been a little over P 20 M and the loan would be 2 years from end payment date on a 7 year loan.
If you look at our current market layout the front and rear portions of the market are well utilized while the wooden section is boarded up and very dark. There are some improvements in place but more are needed for safety, health and general ease of access reasons.
Part of managing an LGU is working many community projects at the same time with successful / timely completion times of a quality end product. Currently we had road widening and LGU Municipal Building work on going at the same time. To me that is good management of materials/ people and assets. The Public Market renovation proposal plan is part of good LGU management.

Is there anybody against here for the improvement of Tanauan? I think there is none. It’s just that 40 million pesos is too much for rehabilitation of our Public Market. A public market don’t have walls, it’s just roof and floorings. iton dibisyon hiton it mga tenants na it napahimo. of course a good drainage system is very important. i’m not an architect nor engineer but i saw already beautiful public markets didto ha manila. just like that. i agree with culver that the portion of the money should goes to livelihood program.
maupay nga adlaw ha iyo ngatanan!
[Reply here]
Huh! for sure the rent and local taxes will increase to shoulder the cost of the rehabilitation. Kairo han mga small time nga paragtinda.
Also the 40 million pesos is too big for this project. Let’s consider also iton aton pagbinayad hini.
More projects LGU nga tinuod nga an mga kadam an nga mulopyo han Tanauan an maka benipisyar.

I respect all your comments for or against the plan of the LGU to borrow money to rehab the public market. We will take note all of it before we make any decision. In the rehab plan prepared by the DPWH, the total cost of the project reached as much as P90M. Considering that is too big for our LGU, I asked our own Engineering Office to redesign it. The P40M is just an estimate. No actual plan and program of work has been prepared yet. Neither a full blown Feasibility Study has been made.
There are offers from Consultants for them to help us prepare all the documentations including the pre-engineering works but too much is asked from us. There is however an offer from Mr. Jun Mosquito married to a Tanauananon, Baby Basas who is a daughter of the late Engr. Jesus Basas. He is connected with a big consulting firm in Manila and was responsible in handling big LGU projects. You may get in touch with him to check his credibility at his celfon 09193739513. They will charge our LGU 3% of the cost as compared to the 11% to 15% rate of other consultants. Mr. Mosquito will still formally present his offer to the Sanggunian. There is no finality yet. There is therefore no reason at the moment for anyone to be apprehensive about it. I am not also trying to say that we have decided already to tap the services of Mr. Mosquito.
One at a time? Yes it is. We are planning for the market rehab because the Municipal Bldg will be finished by February next year. At present, we are only planning for the rehab of the market. All the SB members both from opposing camps together with all the department heads agreed for the rehab of the market. The idea has already been presented to the Market vendors and there is no opposition. Aside from the market rehab, we also have other priority projects listed in the annual investment plan. All those listed including the market rehab was a result of a strategic planning by several sectors of our community. This is not my plan alone.

The present ‘mercado’ is a relic of the 50’s or is it 40’s? A major renovation, therefore, is long overdue. An entirely new structure could even be better. However, the type and the cost of the structure should commensurate with the present and projected level of economic activities in the market. Otherwise, we could have an expensive white elephant if projections turn out to be over ambitious. Town officials, therefore, should be careful in this respect.

i guess we dont need to call you about that municaipal hall that mustve been finished a million years ago… im just wonderin why coincidentally you continued constructing that before the election. then stopped after the election.. isnt it that obvious???
[Reply here]
I guess the issue on the construction/rehabilitation of the Tanauan Municipal Market will all boil down to the financial capability of the LGU and its set priorities as opposed to the stand of its populace . Let us conclusively say, they have seriously considered this project after examining the liquidity of the town’s coffers vis-a-vis the cost involved and how the people will react to this proposed development.
I am saying the current condition of the market and the volume of commerce it now generates for the town need to be examined before plunging on this big project and MAJOR BORROWING. Will the proposed development infuse enough additional revenue for the town? Can the town expect to recoup its investment in how many periods of time? Will it bring about more than enough market collection and taxes/economic revenue to truly say payment to the borrowings will be sourced directly from the said revenue, or that it will directly affect the current LGU services as budget for basic services will be restructured just to meet this new obligation? Indeed, our new set of leaders must think hard.
I am not personally against this new development, in fact I welcome it. As intimated by the LGU, legal processes will be followed yet I say it must be transparent in all aspects, if only to negate major issues and problems later as what is happening with the new yet unfinished municipal building. Public hearings and studies on the feasibility and viability of the project must be exhaustively observed. Great considerations on the financial condition of the town’s coffers must be studied as amortizations for large amount as this has big implications if left unsettled.
New and higher rental cost will surely be imposed to meet the new obligation, right? The LGU must therefore consult and get the “feel” of this segment and the rest of the other sectors of our town. After all, the cost of the local products will escalate to meet their higher operational expenses. The end consumers will surely be the hardest hit if this happens.

to the Mayor,
its good that you answered the questions with regards to the projects of the municipality.. i hope that all the projects of the LGU will be transparent and the true voice of the people of tanauan will be heard, not just of the few people.

LETS BE POSITIVE! and SHOW OUR FULL SUPPORT ON THIS PROPOSAL…
peace to everyone!=)
[Reply here]
old strategy of the TRAPO’s (Traditional Politicians) in the Philippine Politics arena. Build or continue a project before Election then leave it unfinished after election. Though it’s old way or i will say old school..LOL… it still works in some places particularly in the province area.
[Reply here]
I would ask what your thoughts are about renovation of OUR market. Cheap political shots with no solution or recommendation of WHAT to do are not necessary. Present your point please… the TRAPO theory has nothing to do with what is being discussed here. It comes off to even the most casual reader as “I’m so good all I have to do is BASH politicians and never put in a positive or negative thought on the subject being discussed.” Try again with constructive thoughts either way. (i.e for or against and WHY)
[Reply here]
Relax kel1guy! Anoh has a point… You’re so hot with this project to nga madayon. Are you a contractor or supplier for this project? hahaha. Just kidding.
I am just commenting of what anoh has commented… and indeed it is true. I am pretty sure that half of the 40 million pesos if ever granted… will goes to corruption. Sad but TRUE!

The above is lifted from the response of our beloved mayor on the issue of rehabilitation of the Tanauan Public Market.
The proposed project is good, no doubt about that. My worry though are as follows:
· Will this project directly involved an increase in taxes and licenses on businesses in Tanauan?
· How much of the cost will be passed on as increase in rentals for the stall owners who can occupy in the new rehabilitated market?
· What is the true worth of the proposed project inasmuch as there is no full-blown feasibility study made on this project? If possible post the work and engineering estimates as well as the proposed design in the official website of Tanauan so that we can have a better review and study of its worthiness.
· Has there been a study on the effects of possible increase on rentals on stallholders profitability together with its effect on the ultimate consumers buying capacity as there has not been increases in salary?
· The 3% of 40.000,000 is quiet a lot of money. It will reach as much as 1,200,000.00 Damo na ine nga kuarta nga buhay-buhay.
Baga usa la ine nga akon hin babaruan. Iton mga kuno-kuno na wholesale dida ha merkado para ngadto hiton mga iba nga nagtitinda it ganansiya tag P.50 (singkwenta sintimos la) para hit usa ka pakite nga sigarelyo.

Tanauan is a 3rd class municipality breaking the ranks of the 2nd class, yet it has nothing to show for it. Its old ‘agora’ is a shame. Dulag, which is a fourth class municipality has a far better public market and have businesses like Lhuiller in place. How can Tanauan attract big time merchants and investors when all it has is a decrepit grand talipapa. I think the town has the means, all it needs is the will. Mayor Tiu should go for it.

I totally agree that the Tanauan public market needs renovation to meet the demands of time. Of course, Mayor Tiu is smart enough to know that before any project is undertaken, there should be a feasibily study conducted and that it must show that the project is feasible/viable. I have total faith with our mayor. How can I not trust the mayor when he has been leading our town to progress? I grew up with our town being classified for over two decades (perhaps) as third class municipality. The town’s income was stagnant. With Mayor Tiu’s leadership, he was able to lure businessmen to conduct business in Tanauan thereby making Tanauan as the most friendly LGU. As a result, the town’s income grew and I just found out Tanauan is now a second class municipality. Common guys, this is now being close to becoming a city. This is just a big of an accomplishment. With the business thriving (I presume),would this mean more goods and services could be provided to its constituents? Perhaps, and this is something to monitor; for in ideal society, the true gauge of success is based on how the leader was able to provide/deliver goods and services to its constituents in order to make life easier. Another issue here that people should think about is the availabilty of capital. This is something that business-oreinted people should think about. How can capitalists help the small businessmen boost their businessess without resorting to being branded as “loan sharks”? As we all know, the flow of capital is very important for small entrepreneurs/businessmen to thrive and that the support of the capitalist can also assure the success of the business.

taking into consideration the financial capability of the municipality, i don’t hav any disagreement regarding d renovation of the public market. specially now that many tourists are coming into the town, its will be nice if there will be some improvements.

WHATEVER!
I do not mean to sound rude but duh!
Do you guys really think all 40m could be spent on this project alone?
I think half of it would go to someone’s or somebody’s pocket.
Show us your feasiblity plan, budget, and plan pipeline for this one and we’ll tell you what we think.
[Reply here]
You are very right,lady.Corruption is an integral part of politics-dirty politics. Of course nobody in the municipio will dare show any bloody thing about the proposed renovation of the mercado publico. They all have it in the bag and wrapped very tightly so no sneaking private eyes could ever have a look at it. By accident or on purpose. I am thinking of something like a civic group-sans makapilis or balimbings-to monitor/audit everything about the public market construction. This group should be at the helm of a real honest (does this person exist?) person with knowledge of strength of materials as well as costing. Again no makapilis or balimbings here. You see some contractors are real cheats if you don’t open wide your blue eyes , you get the rough end of the pineapple. You get my drift Ms.C? Do you think this is possible?? One thing is gonna happen for sure!! Like you mentioned part of the 40 million moolah will end up in someone’s bankbook. Es muy posible este!! Money is going to make and unmake somebody via the construction of the public mercado. Kawawa naman an Tanauananon.
Veo que uno es muy arecho sobre esa project. Of course because he is sure to land a contract with the municipio.I also believe he is malapit sa alcalde. Que verguenza!! I won’t mention a name. He has knowledge of buildings.Got a hint??
Miss C, if it ain’t too much on your part,I would want to communicate contigo . Should you agree, please post your message here. Taga sulod ako(I’m proud of it). Tatlong kilometro galing sa town proper going Dagami. No I ain’t a Filipino. Ako ay isang Waray. Joke eh?? Kasi me mga kakilala ako rito pero nakalimutan na yata ako. So with your ayuda I hope to communicate with them again. Hint: I have a cousin.Mother side. Last time I was home he was already a teacher.His wife was taking Law at that epoca.Hope she made the board. Him my cousin was an independent barangay kagawad candidate during the last barangay elections. He was not lucky though. His initials are T.C. Dark skinned and speaks like he has a different sexual orientation. Dig me?? I am not near Tanauan.Far.Very far. Thank you very much. Hope to read your anti comments.Again. Oh, I check my eamil.Daily. Have a nice day!! Ciaooo!!

Tanauan, Leyte has been the Good and Organize LGU in Eastern Visayas through the Good Governance of Mayor Roque Tiu, the project proposal is for the goodness of all the people in it’s government unit
but however the project cost is so big and annoying to it’s people…
it leads to the doubts of others especialy to the Anti-Tiu citizens of Tanauan.
May the good mayor show the feasiblity plan, budget, and plan pipeline to it’s people to avoid doubts to others who believe that the money will be just corrupted by some other officials of it’s municipality!
Thank you!
Mabuhay ang Tanauan!

Mr.Ombudsman Visayas,
You are very right with your suggestions!! The amount of money is large and the temptation is always alive and kicking. Let us all hope for the better. Hope that enough amount is left behind to proceed with the execution of the plans for the market building after all the studies are finalized.And once work has started it has also to be finished-correctly and not with some awful sights left behind for the residents to ogle at everyday as a reminder of local politicians’s unequivocal greed!!
Mabuhay ang Tanauan!!! Ipadayon an kaupayan han bungto!!!
[Reply here]
PAANO ITO NGAYON MR. OMBUDSMAN. Ang feasibility Study umabot na daw sa 80,000,000 (80 Million Pesos) more or less ang aabutin na gastos para pa lang yan sa Phase 1?
To Ernie Teston.
Your response to this article is good. I salute you. The burden will be passed on to stall holders cause they are the ones who are going to pay for the higher rent. Not only that, the LGU will now be enforcing payments for the rights to occupy in the amount of P50,000.00 for the first ten years and another P100,000.00 for the next ten years. That is over and above the P2,400.00 monthly rental which on the succeeding years will have a 5-10% increment in order to recoup the investment. How can the poor tienderos pay for the rental and rights? Is thi Poverty Alleviation? I think this is not. Pahirap ito sa pobreng naghahanap buhay. Ang pwedeng makapag bukas ng tindahan ay ang mga mayayaman na may other source of income, kasi di mo kikitain ang pambayad nito sa karamihan sa may pwesto ngayon sa palengke natin. Alam mo naman na almost 99% ng nag titinda sa palengke natin ay utang ang puhunan.

Willi,
Something weird is happening at the GUEST BOOK again!! First I posted something but only part of it came out!!And a period is missing!! Then I posted again addressed specifically to the webmaster aka EUGENE RAMOS!! Nothing came out!!! Man this is friggin’ weird!!! IS SOMETHING AFOOT OVER THERE??
And so some of the geniuses of Tanauan are little by little letting their minds speak out! Good thinking!!! But are we really arguing on the right stuff??? It is a study alright what they have done !! But with all those PROHIBITIVE FIGURES THAT CAN NO LONGER BE CALLED FEASIBLE ANYMORE!! NO MAN!!! IT WOULD BE A SMART MOVE TO CALL IT “UNFEASIBLE” STUDY!! RIGHT??? And approved or not the project we are at a loss!! They sure winners are the study group !! They ain’t going home without the check!! And it is a lot of moolah!!! Let us hope that the targeted Php40 million(before) for the project a small amount still remains after the unfeasible study!!!
Keep on blogging!! See later dude!!! Ciaoooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Reply here]
Miss Congeniality,
You are wrong about the Php40 M!! It’s doubled and going!! And like you suspected some personal bank accounts are gonna have fresh deposits!!Ewwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So come back and get into the circus featuring the UNFEASIBLE STUDY OF THE PROPOSED TANAUAN MERKADO PUBLICO!! IT IS FUN !!! WE MISS YOU!!!! SEE YOU SOON!

I don’t see anything wrong with the newly propose project the so called renovation/rehabilitation of the Tanauan Public Market… This project is nice, beneficial to the people and can gives good impression to neighboring towns but the concern is the vendors can afford to pay the high cost of rental, hope there is a clear program regarding that matter.. was the feasibility study is fully documented comprehensive and well informed to the people of tanauanon and hope there is no mess that will give way to corruption…….
