The Cebu Provincial Government has ordered the Cebu City Treatment and Rehabilitation Center (CCTRC) to vacate the provincial lot in Salinas Drive, Lahug.
Cebu Gov. Gwen Garcia said the Capitol will give the center 60 days so it will have time to look for a relocation site.
She said they need to start advertising the property so they can solicit bid proposals these projects to be finished by then," she said.
Garcia said he has met with the center's administrator, Dr. Gerardo Aquino Jr., who is also the medical director of the state-run Vicente Sotto Memorial Medical Center (VSMMC) in Cebu City.
The CCTRC, which has 140 patients, sits on an 11,475-square meter Capitol lot. It is close to the former site of the Cebu City jail called the Bagong Buhay Rehabilitation Center and the Asiatown IT Park, the bustling center for business process outsourcing (BPO) firms in the city.
Cebu Provincial Attorney Marino Martiquilla said they sent three demand letters to the center: the first on March 31, 2006, the second on Feb. 20, 2007; and the last on Feb. 8, 2008.
Capitol sent a fourth demand letter last June 3.
Garcia said they will start the ball rolling and not wait for the center to decide when to vacate.
