Dipolog implements P103.1-M worth of projects for 2013

By Mary May Abellon
DIPOLOG CITY - The city government here has implemented and completed infrastructure projects worth P103.1 million for the year 2013, City Engineer Nedilla D. Magdayao reported recently.

About 46 percent of the said amount was allocated for rehabilitation, expansion, completion and maintenance of public buildings. Among of these projects are the Dipolog Land Transport Terminal, covered courts in the different barangays, the Dipolog Sports Center, Day Care centers, multi-purpose hall, the Philippine National Police (PNP) building and other public edifices.

Twenty five percent of the total amount was also allotted for irrigation and water system projects while nine percent went to education facilities and buildings.

On the other hand, road concreting projects in the barangays received 16 percent appropriation and only four percent was allocated for concreting of drainage canals.    

Moreover, the report disclosed that there are still 2013 infrastructure projects to be continued this year such as the maintenance and concreting of public roads and building as well as the opening of access roads.

The diversion road from Barangay Miputak to Barangay Sta. Stabel is also slated to be constructed this year.

Engr. Magdayao estimated that these ongoing projects would cost the city government over P76.5 million.

More infrastructure projects are expected to be implemented in the city, as the city government aims to serve the public with excellence and dedication in partnership with the national agencies and private stakeholders. (PIA9)
