REDONDO SHIPYARD COORDINATING COUNCIL FORMED IN SUBIC

Council Formed To Support Hanjin Shipbuilding Project in Subic

Zambales Governor Calls for Unity of Local Government Officials on Shipbuilding Project

Iba, Zambales- In response to the growing issues and social concerns about the Multi-Billion Shipbuilding project in Subic, a consultative body was formed as Zambales Governor Amor Deloso's administration successfully called for the "First Consultative Meeting" last Saturday at the Provincial Capitol.

The meeting was attended by SBMA Chairman Feliciano Salonga, SBMA Administrator Armand Arreza, Hanjin Heavy Industries Corporation (HHIC) President Jeong Sup Shim, Zambales Governor Amor Deloso, Task Force Chairman Ramon Lacbain II and heads of concerned government agencies like DENR, DPWH, PNP, Provincial Social Welfare and Development Office and the Provincial Engineer's Office .

The group decided to form the "Redondo Shipyard Coordinating Council (RSCC)" to ensure proper coordination in addressing critical issues and concerns as well as take appropriate actions for the benefit of the people and for the smooth operations of HHIC- Phils. Inc.

Redondo Shipyard Coordinating Council will be composed of SBMA Chairman, SBMA Administrator, the Municipal Mayor of Subic, the President of Hanjin and the Governor of Zambales as its head.

The Chairman of Task Force Hanjin and former Zambales Vice Governor Ramon Lacbain II will act as the Executive Director of RSCC and the other members of the Task Force on Hanjin will provide secretariat support. The heads of concerned government agencies like the DENR-PENRO, DPWH, PNP, PSWDO, PEO will provide technical support and facilitate the implementation of all agreements tackled by the council.

Mayor Jeffrey Khonghun of Subic was not able to attend the meeting but expresses his support through a phone call to the governor.

The said first consultative meeting tackles issues like relocation and compensation of residents at Sitio Nagyantok (part of the expansion area to be taken by HHIC-Phil. Inc.), compensation of the remaining unpaid residents of Sitio Agusuhin (the area presently occupied by Hanjin), clearing of the proposed Hanjin Village (housing project for Filipino workers), expansion of Hanjin perimeter fence and the transfer of affected families, livelihood fund for the 32 members of Agusuhin Community Reforestation (ACRA) and construction of the infrastructure projects at Agusuhin Relocation Site ( the anomalous 18M infrastructures at relocation).

Deloso is hopeful that this council will strengthen ties between the local government and the business sector and eventually be "partners in development" of the Redondo Peninsula in Brgy. Cawag, Subic and the entire province of Zambales.

RSCC will convene regularly at the request of any member whenever urgent and critical issues and concerns must be addresses to ensure proper coordination and create workable business development plan for Zambales.
