Bro. Rolando Dizon, chairman of the Bacolod Economic and Business Council, yesterday clarified the stand of the BEBC on the location of the new government center after it was reportedly perceived that they were opposed to the Taculing site.

The BEBC has included in its recommendation to Mayor Evelio Leonardia the BREDCO property as a possible site for the new government center, aside from the Bacolod Murcia Milling Co. area in Burgos Street and the Guanzon property in Brgy. Mansilingan. "I think the BREDCO issue is incidental," Dizon said. The BEBC was created by the mayor because he felt that he needs a group to help him promote a better business and economic environment for the city, he said.
