'''P300M OK’d for construction of Pagudpud viaduct 2'''.<br>
'''Bolinao town records 643K tourist arrivals in 2022'''.<br>
LAOAG CITY – The construction of a second viaduct in Pagudpud town will start this year after the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) assured at least PHP300 million in initial funding. Ilocos Norte First District Representative Ferdinand Alexander Marcos confirmed this on Tuesday, saying the second viaduct would prevent frequent road closures along the Manila North Road in Barangay Pancian brought by landslides and rockslides from bad weather. But unlike the first Pagudpud viaduct, Marcos said the next viaduct will have a more modern structural design with the help of a Japanese consultant who has expertise in building viaducts.
BAGUIO CITY – The city's most famous month-long festival, Panagbenga, opened on Wednesday to a bevy of community-led activities, including two opening grand parades participated in by students and groups both from the public and private sectors. The Panagbenga was started in 1996 to help boost the spirits of residents as they get back on their feet after a major earthquake from a few years back. Twenty-seven years later, the city arrives at another flash point as the festival once again helps the city recover from the global coronavirus pandemic.
