TACLOBAN CITY- The city government here has set aside P8 million for two road repair projects, one in V&G and one in San Jose District, set to be undertaken this coming March.
This was revealed by Executive Assistant Eduardo Manadong.
The city official disclosed that P4 million was earmarked for the repair of the road within the V&G Subdivision, while another P 4 million was set aside for the rehabilitation of the coastal road in Brgy. 89 (San Jose).
Manadong said that the city government decided to allocate a big amount for the two projects because of the extent of damage and disrepair of the two important city roads.
“The road within V&G is in bad condition because of many potholes, while the road in San Jose needs to be repaired because of the damage wrought on it by recent typhoons,” he pointed out.
According to him, the rehabilitation work on the V&G road would involve road reblocking and repair of damaged road sections.
“The aim is to repair the damage which has worsened through the years,” he stressed.
On the other hand, he disclosed that the rehab of the San Jose road would mainly involve the repair of typhoon-damaged portions.
“The purpose is to make the road safe for vehicle traffic,” he said.
According to Manadong, the two proposed road rehab projects, which are priorities of City Mayor Alfred Romualdez, will be implemented soon.
He said that they have calendared the two projects for bidding in the first week of February.
“Our target is to start implementing them in the first week of March,” he disclosed.
Meanwhile, Manadong revealed that the second phase implementation of the Women’s Shelter, an undertaking strongly pushed by City Councilor Cristina Gonzalez-Romualdez, is set to begin next month.
“The phase 1 implementation was already finished, and we are now on the second or completion phase,” he said.
According to him, the second phase, which has a budget allocation of P5 million, would involve finishing works, painting, and landscaping of the area around the building.
A priority of the city government, the Women’s Shelter is meant as a temporary shelter of abused and battered women from this city.
Based on the Project Plan, the to-be-completed Women’s Shelter would be a two-storey structure that would be big enough to accommodate 10 occupants. (CIO- JOSE RODRIGUEZ T. SEÑASE)
