QC ratifies lease contract of reception house

MANILA — The Quezon City Council on Wednesday passed a resolution ratifying the contract signed by Quezon City Mayor Herbert Bautista and the Office of the Vice President for the lease of the Quezon City Reception House in New Manila, Quezon City.

City Resolution 7406-2018, which was introduced by Councilor Alexis Herrera, states that “the OVP identified the Reception House in Barangay Mariana as a potential National Capital Region Office.”

“The Office of the Vice President has expressed interest in holding its National Capital Region Office in Quezon City where many national government agencies are strategically located,” the resolution said.

The OVP, through the Bids and Awards Committee, determined that the renewal of the Contract of Lease remains to be advantageous to the government.

The 5,000-square-meter Quezon City Reception House has been originally built as a satellite office of the city mayor where ceremonial and diplomatic functions are to be hosted. (Perfecto Raymundo, Jr./PNA)
