BONGAO, Tawi-Tawi, Philippines – A group of private and government socio-economic managers here lauded Tawi-Tawi Governor Sadikul Sahali after he informed them that bridge projects, airport improvement, and farm-to-market roads are the most tangible projects that his administration have relentlessly pursued and successfully completed. | |||
Sahali told the group of economists that his administration is concentrating in the delivery of major infrastructure and support projects for the development of the province vis-à-vis with peace and order, particularly health services. | |||
“The delivery of basic services coupled with the needed infrastructure support projects, peace and order, and social services, including education, tops the list of my priority programs for the province,” he said. | |||
Sahali said he hopes to improve the living condition of the people in the province, and at the same time providing them with job opportunities and increased productivity. | |||
Sahali also told the economists during a roundtable discussion at his office Wednesday that the 370-meter Sanga-Sanga, Lapid-Lapid steel bridge, the flagship project of the provincial government, is now 90 percent finished, and is expected to be completed in due time. | |||
Sahali said he is pushing for the early completion of the P342-million bridge project in order to propel the socio-economic development of the province. | |||
He said the bridge would greatly improve trade and commerce in the entire province. | |||
The bridge, he said, is a joint effort of the provincial and local government units of the municipalities of Bongao and Panglima Sugala, and is funded by the Office of the President, the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH), the United States government, the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao hierarchy, and the provincial government of Tawi-Tawi. | |||
At present, the DPWH has prepared the road from Sanga-Sanga to Patal, up to Bangalian, at the same time upgraded the roads connecting Kapatagan to Lapid-Lapid, and Batu-Batu to Magsaggao up to Tarawakan in this capital town. | |||
“We all are happy that with the newly upgraded and improved Sanga-Sanga Airport, it can now accommodate bigger aircraft, like Airbus 320, to ferry a larger number of passengers,” Sahali said. | |||
With pride, Sahali also told the group that Tawi-Tawi is now included in the country’s Nautical Highway Program, and the Roll-On, Roll-Off (RO-RO) Port of Bongao is now connected with the major ports in the region. | |||
