Bacolod City Legal Officer Allan Zamora yesterday said the Philippine Reclamation Authority has not yet responded to the request of the city to have the titles of the ports at the Reclamation Area in Bacolod City transferred in the name of the City of Bacolod.

He said that under the tripartite memorandum of agreement between the Bacolod Real Estate Development Corp., the city and the Public Estate Authority, it is the PEA (now the PRA) that has the responsibility to have the shares of the city titled in its name.

Zamora said that since the PRA has not yet responded to their letter, the Mayor will make a follow up regarding the status of their request next week.

Biofuels caravan coming

Bacolod City is part of the itinerary of the Philippine Fuel Ethanol Alliance caravan next month aimed to raise awareness on the use of biofuels.

The Ethanol Alliance, a coalition promoting energy independence by supporting local biofuels production and use, said in a press release it will hold the Biofuels Caravan from February 4 to 13 together with the Independent Philippine Petroleum Companies Association and Coalition of Clean Cities in the Philippines. The activity, which will also celebrate the signing of the Biofuels Act of 2006 into law on January 17, will showcase vehicles running on ethanol-blended gasoline and coco-diesel additive starting from Northern Luzon.
