SECRETARY Rogelio Singson of the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) said they will implement bigger infrastructure projects in the province and city of Iloilo this year.
“Kitang kita po ang mga epekto ng proyekto namin dito sa Iloilo pag lapag mo palang sa airport (We can see the impacts of the projects as soon as land on the airport,” Singson said.
Singson said the budget for Iloilo increased to P6.1 billion this year compared to P1.6 billion in 2011.
“Hindi mo madali ang mga proyekto na ginawa namin dito sa Iloilo pero sa tulong ng ma liderato sa lungsod at probinsya naging madali po ang lahat,” Singson added.
Singson commended the unity of the city and provincial governments which helped the DPWH accomplish the projects.
“Ang maganda po sa aming trabaho ditto ay halos hindi na kami nag bayad ng right of way dahil na-recover lang po namin ang dating right of way ng national road which is 60 meters. So, ang ginawa lang po namin ay nagpatulong sa mga LGUs na mabigyan sila ng maayos na paglilipatan,” he added.
Singson said developments in Iloilo are definitely higher than the national average GDP growth.
“Ang tantya po namin dito sa Iloilo ay double digit ang growth dito dahil kaliwat-kanan nagtatrabaho po kami, nagtatrabaho ang gobyerno, sa kalye nag-tatrabaho pa rin ang mga private sectors,” Singson said.
The DPWH also mentioned the on-going tourism routes leading to heritage sites like the Muelley Loney Bridge which can help boost convenience and accessibility to visitors and Ilonggo people.
