visit the island by taking first a navy boat, then transferred to two rubber
boats to reach the said island.
The
lady chief executive turned-over to Tumalutab barangay officials, 3 infrastructure
projects worth P1,903,890.48 in the barangay. Grateful residents also witnessed
the turn-over activity.
Mr.
Vic Larato of the City Information Office said the projects that were turned-over
included a newly-built catwalk of
40.32-linear meter long, a comfort room and a 38.50 meter long footbridge.
He
said the construction of said projects started in October 2014 undertaken by
Benram Construction firm.
This
project turn-over was conducted during
the ‘Dia del Alcalde”, an outreach program of the lady mayor which aims to
bring the city government’s basic social services to the people, especially
those in far-flung areas.
