-CABARROGUIS, Quirino, Jan. 28 (PIA) -- The Provincial Social Welfare and Development Office (PSWDO) here has reported that the 1,830 families who were rendered homeless by the previous typhoons will soon have new homes through the Department of Social Welfare and Development’s Core Shelter Assistance Project.
+CABARROGUIS, Quirino, Jan. 30 (PIA) -- The Provincial Tourism Office here recently bared the 15 eco-tourism projects to be developed under the tourism master plan from 2010-2015.
-Provincial Social Welfare Officer Laura Matammu said the P202,883,600 fund from the DSWD intended for the project is now ready and the construction of houses has been started.
+Provincial Tourism Officer Aurea V. Martinez said these projects include the ongoing construction of wake boarding sports facilities, improvement of the Capitol Sports Complex, establishment of Zafari and Zoo Park, construction of motocross track and trail, firing range and purchase of white water rafting equipment.
-Matammu said the core shelters will be constructed sporadically in the lots owned by the affected families in Diffun, Cabarroguis, Saguday and Aglipay and in communal sites donated by the local government units of Maddela and Nagtipunan .
+Martinez said the provincial government will also establish a commercial plaza and sports complex, procure additional boats for sustainable development of the I Love Quirino Park, improve the Aglipay Caves & Campsite and Governor’s Rapids and sustain the road side tree plantation.
-“Of the total amount, P128 million will be for the construction of core shelter units; P45 million for the emergency assistance of the 9,192 partially affected families and P28 million for the cash for work program,” Matammu disclosed.
+“The province will also come up with a heritage and cultural program for all municipalities through the involvement of secondary, tertiary and vocational institutions to preserve the indigenous culture and dialect,” Martinez added.
-The provincial social welfare officer also said that Gov. Junie and Cong. Dax Cua will shell out P20 million each as additional fund for the project. (TCB/PIA 2)
+Meantime, the provincial government shall also push through with the construction of North Eastern Luzon Expressway (NELEX) at Nagtipunan-Dinadiawan, Aurora-Alfonso Castaneda, Nueva Vizcaya-Caranglan- San Jose City, Nueva Ecija.
+The project entails the construction of around 133-175 kilometers of roads and 1,950 km of bridges. The proposed road will serve as an alternate to Dalton Pass and it is expected to strengthen inter-regional transport linkages, promote strong physical integration and hasten the development of the province.
+The feasibility study is also on going for the construction of Quirino Airport to be established at Aglipay-Maddela with an implementation schedule of 2012-2040.
+The tourism master plan is in line with the priority development thrusts of Gov. Junie E. Cua and Cong. Dax Cua to place the province in the national development road map, which in turn aims at transforming the province into a one sstop ecotourism and adventure destination in Cagayan Valley.(TCB/PIA 2)
