BAGUIO CITY Mayor Benjamin Magalong is not happy with the work done on Burnham Lake and has told the contractor to fix the problems before the city accepts the project or releases any payment.

The ₱100-million rehabilitation, funded by TIEZA, reopened to the public on September 1, 2026. Just weeks later, the walkway started showing clear signs of wear— uneven tiles and railings that raised safety concerns.

“We are not accepting it until they fix it properly,” Magalong said. He noted that the contractor still has not been paid, and TIEZA is also holding back payment because they are equally dissatisfied with the results.

The mayor stressed that the city will not spend public money on substandard work. Even private projects, he pointed out, usually require contractors to finish a punch list of corrections before anything is considered done.

City officials are working closely with TIEZA to get the issues resolved. In the meantime, the City Environment and Parks Management Office is asking the public for a little patience while repairs continue in sections so the lake can stay open. The contractor has agreed to cover the extra costs.
