Decorp rejects city hall request for meter transfer
THE Dagupan Electric Corporation (Decorp) has turned down the request of the Dagupan Mayor Belen Fernandez for the transfer of the electric meter registered under it from the former MC Adore Hotel to the Malimgas Public Market.
Decorp cited the pending libel complaint filed by the Citystate Savings Bank against Dominador Liwag Jr., the company’s service manager, and eight staffers of the The Sunday PUNCH before the City Prosecutors Office in Pasig City.
The meter requested for transfer is currently being utilized by the Citystate Bank that began operating at the ground floor of MC Adore shorly after AMB ALC Holdings and Management Corp. acquired ownership of the hotel property earlier this year.
The city government, however, maintained that the bank did not have the permission to use it nor has it entered into an agreement for the bank’s use.
City Administrator Farah Decano, who received the letter, said she will confer with Mayor Belen Fernandez and City Legal Officer George Mejia on the next steps to take given the surprise and unexpected position of Decorp.
Fernandez wrote Liwag last November 25 requesting “that the installed electric meter at the Mc Adore Building in the name of the City Government be transferred to Malimgas Market” to provide more lighting in the ongoing trade fair premises being held in conjunction with the city fiesta.
According to Decano, Decorp, instead, has offered to provide another meter for the fair.
