Sangguniang Panlalawigan Board Members Sharon Abiog-Onda and Cherry Pie Acosta debated on the location of student dormitories by the Provincial Government.

On the 9th regular session of the 43rd Sangguniang Panlalawigan, Board Member Sharon Abiog-onda proposed a resolution requesting Sen. Joel Villanueva, the Chair of the Senate Committee on Higher Education, to allocate funds to construct student dormitories in Palawan.

Abiog-onda proposed that the dormitories be located close to the Palawan State University and Western Philippines University campuses in Puerto Princesa, arguing that the campuses in the municipalities are only extension campuses. But she also said that the dorms be constructed on the municipalities should the need arises.

Meanwhile, Board Member Cherry Pie Acosta proposed instead to construct three dormitories outside Puerto Princesa City, as she said that only Puerto Princesa would benefit from the proposal.

“Kung dito sa siyudad, eh tingin ko eh, para na ring pag-aari na rin ng city ito, ‘yung government property ng city na rin, although galing sa Senate hinihingi natin, kay Senator Villanueva, na ito ay pagbigyan ng kaukulang pondo. At sabi nga natin, ilagay na dito sa bawat distrito, una, pangalawang distrito, bagama’t ipinangako naman sa atin ni Board Member Sharon Abiog-onda na sa susunod na sesyon, ito ay separate synonymous resolutions din po, ang gagawin lang po ay magkakaroon tayo ng 1st and 2nd district. Sabi nga natin kanina, ay walang masama sa paghiling ng project o programs na gagawin sa Puerto,” Acosta said in an interview with the media.

Board Member David Francis Ponce de Leon suggested instead to wait for the plebiscite on 2020 on the division of Palawan into three provinces.

Acosta countered this proposal, as she underlined the benefit it will bring to the students even in the extension campuses.

“Ba’t kailangan natin antayin ‘yun? Kasi hindi natin alam ito, kung ito ba ay maisakatuparan o hindi sa ngayon…pero hindi na natin kailangan antayin ‘yun, sapagkat existing na po ‘yung ating mga extension ng mga colleges at universities dito sa Palawan,” she added.
