Clark locators clarify stand on ‘ouster’ of CDC president
CLARK FREEPORT, Pampanga: The Clark Investors and Locators Association (CILA) claimed that it has “neither joined any group or issued any statement calling for the ouster of Clark Development Corp. [CDC] President Liberato Laus.”
CILA Chairwoman Teresa Bognot took exceptions to a banner story in a local daily newspaper that the organization had called for the ouster of Laus as president/CEO of CDC.
The said local tabloid published a story whose headline read, “Clark locators want Laus out.” The headline was followed up with “CDC not giving CILA ‘respect [it] deserves.’”
The articles quoted CILA President Jeannie del Rosario-Ng in a February 11, 2008 letter as saying that CILA “officially deplored what it called CDC’s ‘lack of respect for both foreign and local investors.’”
However, Bognot said CILA and Laus have threshed out prevailing “differences” between the organization and the CDC.
“We have our differences with the CDC but [these] have been discussed already during the meeting,” Bognot said referring to the consultative meeting held at the Red Crab Restaurant inside the Clark Freeport on February 19.
She clarified that while the article did not directly say that CILA called for Laus’s ouster this much was implied and mislead readers.
CILA accounts for at least 90 percent of employment, investment, and production inside the Clark Freeport with its more than 100 members.
