Officials say the project is already 65% completed, and the contractor already got paid about half of the P583-million project cost.

ILIGAN, Philippines – Iligan Mayor Frederick Siao terminated a nearly P600-million contract for the design and construction of a new city public market due to several delays that reached nearly a year.

The plan is to build a modern two-story market with greenery on the roof deck, a floor area of 2,218 square meters, 1,269 market stalls, and 132 parking spaces in Barangay Pala-o to replace the old market that was built in 1960. Officials said city hall gave BM Marketing a notice to proceed with the project on February 20, 2020, with August 19, 2021, as the target completion date.

The company was first granted a 74-day extension due to the issuance of an enhanced community quarantine order by Regencia in March 2020. Two subsequent extensions – one for 65 days and another for 68 days – were due to the modified enhanced community quarantine measures imposed in Iligan and after one of its workers tested positive for COVID-19.
