BY CHRYSEE SAMILLANO

The Liberty Builders has submitted a motion for reconsideration before the Bids and Awards Committee Saturday after it failed to qualify in the bid for the construction of the new government center for Bacolod City, City Legal Officer Allan Zamora said yesterday.

Zamora said he expects that there would be more who will seek reconsideration this week. He said the BAC will resolve their motion within seven days.

BAC chairman Goldwyn Nifras said he was informed that the J.H. Pajara Construction Corp. might also submit a motion for reconsideration. He said he has yet to receive the motion filed by Liberty Builders but was only informed about it by City Administrator Lorendo Dilag.

Daughter's search

BY CARLA GOMEZ

A web designer working in California in search of her birth mother in Bacolod City yesterday got some answers to her mysterious past.

The web designer who asked that she be identified only by her first name, Jella, earlier wrote to the DAILY STAR and said she only recently found out that 29 years ago, on June 15, 1977, her birth mother from Bacolod gave her up for adoption.

She grew up as an only child and never questioned who she was even if people kept telling her she did not look like her adoptive parents at all, Jella said.
