THE SUBIC Bay Freeport Chamber of Commerce (SBFCC) congratulated lawyer Wilma T. Eisma on her appointment last Monday as the new administrator and chairperson of the Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority (SBMA). SBFCC President Rose B. Baldeo, in a statement sent on Wednesday, Sept. 27, said the group’s “locator members would like to extend our congratulations to Atty. Eisma. Like what we said during the height of the recent leadership row, we requested… Malacañang to step in and make the necessary decisions that would clarify the roles (of) both parties for the sake of the investors of Subic Bay…” Ms. Eisma and Martin B. Diño, the SBMA chairperson until last Monday, had been caught up in a leadership row at the agency. Malacañang issued an order Monday making the positions of administrator and chairman as a singular authority and appointed Ms. Eisma for the role. The group also thanked Mr. Diño “for his valiant efforts and for the assistance he gave the locators during his few months in office” and said it expects “many great things from Atty. Eisma.”
