DIPOLOG CITY – For the second time this year President Benigno S. Aquino III will be
here tomorrow to lead the groundbreaking of a P385-million road project at
Barangay Cogon this city.
Funded by national
government through the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH), the road
project is said to connect the Cogon Eco-Tourism Park to Barangay Diwan where
the alluring Sungkilaw Falls is located.
Right after the groundbreaking
ceremonies, the President is slated to meet with the local candidates of the
Liberal Party (LP) at the Dipolog Sports Complex in Barangay Olingan before
proceeding to the cities of Dumaguete and Cebu.
As President, PNoy
first visited Dipolog on Feb. 5, 2013 upon invitation of the President of
Andres Bonifacio College to serve as guest of honor and speaker during the
inauguration of the college’s Graduate and Professional Schools Building.
In a related
development, President Aquino has allotted some P200 million for the
construction of Corazon C. Aquino Memorial Hospital here in the city. This
health facility, which is now almost complete, aims to improve the delivery of
health services to the people in the area.
Military and police top
brass in the region will meet the President upon his arrival at the Dipolog
airport tomorrow morning. (PIA9)
