Workers’dorm to hike charges
Manila Standard
THE Metro Manila Development Authority is finalizing its rate adjustment for its newly opened workers’ dormitory in Tondo to include power charges for airconditioning.
Chairman Bayani Fernando, in his weekly radio program, said a hike was inevitable to guarantee the comfort of clients.
“Maybe P25 is not enough to cover the power cost of providing an air-conditioner inside the rooms,” he noted.
The improved Gwapotel inn on Jose Abad Santos Avenue has 800 Japanese-style individual pods or capsule beds with built-in luggage compartment, control panel for spotlight, airduct and piped-in music.
But Fernando said the ventilator was insufficient.
“We plan to install air-condition units. That’s why we are considering to ask a fee adjustment.”
The inn opened on June 12, the 110th anniversary of Independence Day.
Last year, the agency renovated the old National Power Corp. building in Port Area, Manila and converted it into the first Gwapotel as a non-wage benefit for workers.
