17 families behind CCMC site need to clear out, transfer
SETTLERS at the back of the new Cebu City Medical Center (CCMC) construction site were told to start removing their structures.
Each of the 17 families to be affected by the project already received P10,000 as financial aid from the city government last Thursday.
City Engineer Jose Marie Poblete said the settlers should not wait for the city or the private contractor to take action.
“We’ve already marked the area where they should set back. We’re encouraging them to voluntarily demolish their affected structures so it will be less destructive,” he said.
After the 1.5-meter setback has been effected, Poblete said the families can still choose to stay in the area.
More road space isneeded for the entry of heavy equipment of C.E. Padilla Construction to pursue phase 1 of the P600-million public hospital.
The contractor will use the area for five to six months.
A new, sturdier wall will be built in place of the existing one.
Poblete said some owners have already started moving out.
