-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.
+DAVAO CITY, Feb. 23 -– Davao Merchant Marine Academy (DMMA) and Mindanao State University (MSU) in Tawi-Tawi made their presence felt by both posting two straight wins at the opening Thursday of the Mindanao Regional elimination of the 15th Nestea Beach Volleyball at the Paradise Island Beach Resort in the Island Garden City of Samal.
+DMMA’s Jimson Olais and Mario Guanzon whipped Ateneo de Davao University’s Cyrex Cosare and Kevin Batilo, 21-14, 21-10. The dynamic duo then crushed the pair of Prince Nov Sabello and Talal Landas of Emar Human and Environmental College, 21-8, 21-3 in the men’s division.
-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.
+On the other hand, MSU’s Roldan Medino Jr. and Imbran Idris walloped the duo of Keneath Jay Cutamora and Michael Alivio of Philippine Women’s College, 21-17, 21-13, before demolishing the pair of Abim Usman and Nur-amun Madsairi of Maharlika Institute of Technology of Tawi-Tawi via a 21-19, 21-14 win.
+The other matches saw Cor Jesu College of Digos City nipping Iligan Medical Center College, 21-18, 22-20; University of Mindanao-Davao demolished Xavier University of Cagayan de Oro City, 21-12, 21-12; and UM Tagum routed Cor Jesu, 21-13, 21-9.
-“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.
+MSU’s Kweenafenur Mohammad Ali and Dalhina Kulah also made a good start in the distaff side by demolishing Emar’s Florandie Palarca and Cristina Tual, 21-7, 21-12.
+Jose Maria College’s Elvie Mariquit and Irish Dignadice shared the spotlight by downing MATS College’s Jasel Jane Lodia and Jennifer Sargado, 21-8, 21-9.
-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.
+The top three winners in the three-day event will all advance to the national championship set on April 19 to 21 in Boracay Island. The national champion will earn P75,000 while the second, third and fourth placers will pocket P50,000, P25,000 and P15,000, respectively.
+The winning coaches will also earn P25,000, P15,000, P10,000 and P7,500.
-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.
+“They will also get trophies, medals and champion teams one year bragging right as the King and Queen of collegiate beach volleyball in the Philippines,” said Jose Manuel Santos, marketing promotions and events executive for Nestea.
+Santos led the opening ceremony Wednesday together with Department of Tourism (DOT) Regional Director Art Boncato, Island Garden City of Samal City Administrator Cleto Gales Jr., Paradise Island beach resort owner Julie Rodriguez, Visayas leg organizer Ricky Ballesteros and Mindanao leg organizer Kenneth Sai of Vantage Sports Promotions.
-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.
+Davao leg is scheduled from Feb. 23-25 while the Visayas leg will be held on March 9 to 11 in Moalboal, Cebu then followed by the Luzon leg on March 21 to 23 and the National Capital Region (NCR) leg on March 25-27 both slated in Tanauan, Batangas.
-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.
