DIPOLOG CITY, April
30 (PIA)- - A workshop on the Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP) spearheaded by
the City Planning and Development Office (CPDO) was held here recently to draw
up a more realistic utilization of lands in the city for the next two decades.
Participating in
the workshop were representatives from the national government agencies (NGAs)
such as the Philippine National Police (PNP), Department of Trade and Industry
(DTI) and Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP), personnel from the City Social
Welfare and Development Office (CSWDO), City Health Office (CHO), City
Agriculturist Office (CAO), City Engineering Office (CEO), City General
Services Office (CGSO), and City Civil Registrar (CCR) as well as banking
institutions, Dipolog Chamber of Commerce and Industry (DCCI) and other
non-government organizations (NGOs).
City Planning and
Development Coordinator Albert Alimpulos disclosed that the participants were
able to come up with an integrated land use plan which will serve as the basis
in the utilization of lands in the city for the succeeding years.
The city leadership
has envisioned to make Dipolog a “Swigapore,” a combination of Switzerland and
Singapore by 2030, seeking to build an environment similar to Switzerland with
a very healthy ecosystem and to Singapore, a bustling commercial city-state in
Southeast Asia. (FPG/PIA-Zamboanga del Norte)
