Mayor Jerry Treñas, nangayo sang pasensya sa iya pagpangakig sa iya regular presscon may kaangtanan sa issue sa façade sang Iloilo Central Market
Nangayo sang pasensya si City Mayor Jerry Treñas sa iya pagpangakig sa regular press conference sa Iloilo City Hall kahapon sang aga.
Dugang sang alkalde, indi man siya magpasaka sang kaso batok sa mga katapo sang mainstream media.
Nadiskusyunan sa press conference ang pahayag ni UNESCO-National Commission of the Philippines Secretary General kag National Commission for Culture and the Arts commissioner, Dr. Ivan Anthony Henares nga naga-imbestigar ang UNESCO kun nasunod ang proseso antes ang pagbakbak sa façade sang Iloilo Central Market.
Sang ginpamangkot si Henares sa nasambit nga forum kun ano ang salabton sang city government kun matuod nga wala nasunod ang proseso, suno sa iya, “we really can’t say what the liabilities are because we are still investigating the incident. If it was a unilateral decision of the lloilo City government to demolish the market tower structure without clearing it with the appropriate cultural agency then there will be some liabilities and we are going to look into that.”
Sa dugang nga pagpakig-angot kay Henares, iya ginklaro nga NCCA kag indi UNESCO ang nagatuon sa nasambit nga insidente.
Yari ang statement sang alkalde:
“I would like to apologize for my outburst this morning. This was totally uncalled for. First, it was reported that the Central Market restoration is under investigation by the UNESCO. Second, Com. Ivan Henares himself said UNESCO does not investigate, and if at most, NCCA will check with NHCP on the approval made. Third, I did not threaten to file cases against any member of media. Fourth, I will be filing several cases against Nereo Lujan, a civil servant like me. Fifth, I have not filed any case or threaten to file any case against any member of media in my almost four decades of public service. Sixth, I only quoted the text to me of Com. Ivan Henares about ‘irresponsible reporting’ – his text is still in my phone.” — via Aksyon Justice Savannah Pamplona
