この近代化工事は、政府が2015年のアキノ政権時代から試みていたものの市役所関係者、民間セクター、他関係者からの反対を受け実現できていなかった計画であるが、ミンダナオ島の主要な港であるSASA港の近代化工事を求める声に後押しされ、サラ市長のもとで地域開発評議会(City Development Council)と都市開発評議会(Regional Development Council) の協力によって推し進められてきた。今回の改善事業によって、一般貨物係留施設の改善と港の面積を大きくする予定だ。
2015年の近代化計画は、運輸通信省が世界銀行の国際金融公社(International Finance Corp. of the World Bank)が雇用したドイツのコンサルタントの推薦により、当初フィリピン港湾公社が設定した4億ペソの4倍以上となる入札コスト17億ペソという金額に議論が巻き起こった。このとき、民間セクターは、市議会が事前の協議欠如と地方政府の承認欠如のため、過剰な請求であると主張し近代化に反対した。
Thank you for your continued support of Davao’s portal site “Davaotchi”. “Davaotchi” is an information portal about Davao that has been running for about seven and a half years since September 2016 with the aim of conveying the charms of Davao to Japanese people in Japanese and making them more aware of Davao. Thanks to everyone’s support, we have gained a certain amount of recognition, such as being featured in a magazine, and many people have started to hear the term “Dabaotchi”. On the other hand, we have prioritized the mission of conveying the charms of Davao to as many Japanese people as possible, so there is almost no profitability, and we have allocated the profits generated from other businesses to the site management, but we have no plans for the future. As a result of careful consideration of scalability and development, Davaotchi has decided to recruit supporters who can support Davaotchi in order to better manage the site. We considered charging for the site or introducing a subscription plan, but we wanted to deliver information about Davao to as many people as possible, so we decided to simply ask for support from Davaochi fans first. You can support us using PayPal or credit card (debit card) below. We look forward to your cooperation. See more news articles
