A Technical Working Group will be formed by the Bacolod City government to study the site of the new South Bound Terminal of the city.

Councilor Alex Paglumotan, chairman of the Sangguniang Panglugnsod Committee on Transportation, said yesterday that the group will be headed by Bacolod Mayor Monico Puentevella, but if it is convened, the city council should pass an Ordinance that lays down the guidelines for the establishment of the New South Bound Terminal of Bacolod City that is now on second reading.

The ordinance was authored by Paglumotan and Councilor Wilson Gamboa Jr. Under the proposal, the possible sites for the new Southbound Transport Terminal of Bacolod City are in Barangays Sum-ag, Tangub, Pahanocoy, Alijis or Punta-Taytay.
