On the Facebook page “DOTr No to Clark Transfer,” current and former employees of DOTr aired their gripes about the transfer, many asking whether there was “urgent and compelling reason” for the move. The Inquirer learned that by Monday, the DOTr will start moving some of its equipment to Clark. Based on the group’s conversation, though, it appeared that the DOTr would also begin moving its employees to Clark by July 28. Earlier this month, Vince Dizon, president and chief executive officer of the Bases Conversion and Development Authority, said the BCDA is rushing preparations in Clark for the transfer of DOTr. The first phase of New Clark City, however, would not be completed until 2022.
