A media tour on the Cebu International Convention Center (CICC) is slated on Wednesday to provide the media a first-hand ocular inspection on the ongoing construction of the center.
The 12th Asean Summit Cebu Organizing Committee (COC) Chair Gov. Gwen Garcia stated a media tour on the CICC is necessary to update the press on the recent developments of the ongoing construction.
The CICC, one of the identified sites of the summit, has woven a lot of controversy whether it can be finished on time. The deadline for its completion has been targeted on November 15.
During the COC executive meeting this morning, Garcia said the media tour will allay fears or negative feedback from the public on the architects being able to meet the target completion date.
Apart from the tour, the media will be brief on the progress of the construction by architect Guanzon.
Garcia said at this point in time when the summit draws nearer, Cebuanos have to give their support and prayers for a successful hosting as all eyes in the world are focused in Cebu. The show of support includes a positive attitude, according to Gov. Garcia.
The international press center will be based at the CICC that will house a working area equipped with communication facilities and a press conference area. About 2,500 foreign media and another 300 from the Philippine press are expected to cover the summit.
The outcome of the ASEAN leaders meeting will be called the Cebu Declaration for future reference in succeeding summits. (PIA)
