The transfer, however, is temporary pending the construction of NFA’s building along Visayas Avenue in Quezon City, Yap said.
The building’s construction, through a build-operate-transfer scheme, has been discussed by the NFA Council, however, financial constraints has delayed the project.
"We want the private sector to take the step to invest and build us a home on the basis of our actual needs and allow us to pay them for a period of time at our normal lease rates," Yap appealed.
The NFA Central Office has occupied Matimyas and Tengsico buildings in Quezon City since 1977. The rental fee at One San Miguel Building was reportedly lower.
