-VIRAC, Catanduanes- Amid reports from local tabloids in the province regarding the rampant illegal cutting of trees in Catanduanes, Cong. Cesar V. Sarmiento has called on his constituents to show care to the environment.
+Government has strongly moved to swiftly upgrade the country’s poor provinces by prioritizing them in the budgeting process.
-"Illegal cutting of trees in our place is getting rampant (again) according to newspaper reports. This is alarming and disturbing because if these activities remain unabated - that will lead to great destruction of our island", Sarmiento said.
+Typhoon-beleaguered Catanduanes is among the provinces that will receive huge funding for its national roads.
-Moreover, the congressman said that everyone must take part in solving such problem and it can be done by reporting any incident of illegal cutting of trees to the concerned authorities.
+Rep. Cesar Sarmiento disclosed that the P682.7-million concrete paving of the Catanduanes Circumferential Improvement Road, project is under way.
-He also urged the (multi-agency) Task Force Anti-Illegal Logging to be more aggressive in tracking down these illegal activities via filing of charges against the violators and making your accomplishments known to the public.
+Sarmiento and Gov. Joseph Cua recently led the groundbreaking ceremonies in Baras town to signal start of the project that will pave a total 29 kilometers of national road covering the towns of Bato, Baras, Gigmoto, Panganiban, Viga, Caramoran, and San Andres.
-"Do your share in saving our province from landslides, floods and disasters - in doing so you are protecting the lives and properties of our kababayans (who may be your relative and/or friend)", he added.
+The P682.7-million outlay is part of three-year plan to upgrade by 2014 all the 315 national roads in the province.
-It can be noted that the government has implemented total log ban to reduce forest and other environmental destruction.
+Sarmiento said Catanduanes expects another P500 million in national funds next year for similar concreting projects as it anticipates releases from P1.4 billion committed by the Japan International Cooperation “Agency for the provincial highway.
+The solon said the bidding process for the Catanduanes Circumferential Road Project under the JICA Road Upgrading and Preservation Project has started.
+Acquisition of road right-of-way on lands to be traversed by the highway has also begun.
+Willy Galang of the DPWH Environmental and Social Safeguards Office said the distribution of road rights documents to landowners along the Viga Pandan national road is ongoing.
+Payment of government obligations will start in the first quarter of 2010.
+Sarmiento lauded the Aquino administration for including the province in the priority list of developmental projects.
