MANILA, Philippines - The Makati City Engineer’s Office has ordered the management of the West Tower Condominium in Barangay Bangkal to siphon all traces of gasoline and flood water in its basement or risk the revocation of its license. The management was given until Thursday. The management, however, doubts they could do the job. Claret Valera, vice president for operations and business development, denied they had been inefficient in ensuring the safety of its residents. Unit owners have complained of toxic fumes emanating from the basement of the condominium. The leakage supposedly started more than 2 weeks ago. The local government has already ordered unit owners and residents leaving nearby to evacuate. It has yet to determine the source of the gas leak The First Philippine Industrial Corp. said indications already show that its pipeline near the condominium is not the culprit. Local government officials also have not seen any leaks there. The Bureau of Fire Protection suspects the gas leak may have come from a nearby lot, where an oil and bus station used to operate.
OPINION/COMMENT:
I am agree that the license of West Tower must revoke because they are tardy in resolving this problem. They must hasten to eliminate the gasoline and flood water in its basement to avoid hassle in the people environment because it can cause contaminated in water supply and for the health of residents near in West Tower.
