Recent reports have been circulating regarding the construction of the PAGCOR Multipurpose Evacuation Center located within the Balatas Development Complex being regarded as “hazardous”.
While some plumbing and waterproofing issues were identified, they were all resolved by the City Engineer’s Office. All items in the audit observation memorandum issued by the Commission on Audit were addressed comprehensively, with only minor corrections. During the inspection, the building was certified as structurally sound and ready for occupancy. All repairs will be charged to its contractor, JRMX Construction & General Merchandise, as stated in their letter dated April 27, 2024.
Just recently, the Center was opened to serve evacuees from Looban 2 of Balatas during the fire incident at the closed Balatas Dumpsite. The Center has also hosted numerous large crowd events since its completion in 2022.
