DIPOLOG
CITY - Zamboanga del Norte second district representative
Rosendo S. Labad-labad led the groundbreaking of major infrastructure projects
in his district during his 48th birthday recently.
Alan
Bengua of the Dipolog City Information Office (CIO) told the Philippine
Information Agency (PIA) that seven of these projects are in Dipolog City.
These
projects include the second, third and fourth phase of the expansion and
improvement of the Dipolog City Airport with P112 million appropriation; the
P25 million-road construction from the junction of Turno by-pass road to 3,003
step-Linabo Peak at Barangay Dicayas, a place frequented by local and foreign
tourists especially during holy week; Purok Bulahan-Turno River Control Project
at Barangay Turno with an allocation of P23 million; the P50 million-Dipolog
City Boulevard expansion; P25 million-road concreting to Sungkilaw Falls at
Barangay Diwan; and the widening of the Dipolog-Sindangan road, including the
construction of a drainage canal from Barangay Sta. Isabel-Galas to Olingan
with an allocation of P84 million.
Mayor
Evelyn T. Uy has lauded the lawmaker’s initiative in complementing the city government’s
efforts geared toward its “Swigapore 2030” vision, which seeks to make Dipolog
a combination of Singapore (a bustling commercial center in Southeast Asia) and
Switzerland (a known green country in Europe).
On
the same day, the team also proceeded to Katipunan town for the groundbreaking
of the P1.35 million-Multi-Purpose Building Project at Barangay New Tambo, the
P10 million-farm-to-market road at Lipasan in Roxas town, the P10 million-farm-to-market
road in Punta Blanca, Manukan, and the P130 million- road opening at Talinga-Dagohoy-Tinaplan-Titik
road in the municipality of Sindangan.
The
ground breaking caravan ended at Siayan town and was capped by the ground
breaking of the three projects, namely, the P2 million-electrification project
in Barangay Pange, P1.6 million-electrification project in Barangay Balok and
the P4 million-Siayan Diagnostic Health Care Center.
