SAGUDAY, Quirino, Jan. 18 (PIA) -- The National Irrigation Administration (NIA) region 2 said it will convert the Addalam River Irrigation Project (ARIP) here, into infrastructure tourism to maximize its potentials not only to irrigate thousands of rice fields but also for the development of the tourism industry of this town and the whole province. | |||
Regional Project Monitoring Committee, Project Manager Estanislao Najera said the dam has big potential as tourist spot with its clear waters, a state-of-the-art dam and its accessibility to all types of vehicles. | |||
Najera said there were already some tourists who visited the area. However, there is a need to enhance the area and establish some facilities to be able to convert it into infra-tourism. | |||
Najera also confirmed that the waters in the upstream of the dam is where the most expensive fish species thrives, the “Ludong,” which is now being advocated by the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) region 2 for its preservation and conservation of its potential for economic development. | |||
Cecil Dy, a private sector representative of the regional project monitoring committee, said the plan is very laudable and it will pave the way towards the conversion of other infrastructure project of the government into a tourism destination. | |||
On the other hand, NEDA Assistant Regional Director MaryAnn Darauay stated that through the regional project monitoring committee (RPMC), other projects with tourism potentials that are being implemented by LGUs and other government agencies will be converted into an infra-tourism.

CABARROGUIS, Quirino, Jan. 17 (PIA) –- The on-going construction of the Quirino Provincial Hospital (QPH) in barangay Mangandingay is targeted to be completed and inaugurated in June of this year. Architect Carlos Salvador of the provincial engineering office said the construction is already on its 6th phase and an addition of manpower was done to fast track the completion of the project. Salvador presented that the overall project cost is P300 million, where P183.3 million was sourced from the Department of Health’s facilities enhancement project, P30 million from Congressman Dakila Carlo Cua’s fund and the rest came from the province’s fund. “It is already 70 percent completed and we will try our best to finish the project before June to formally open it to the public,” Salvador said. He further stated the old hospital of the province can no longer accommodate sick constituents that is why some still seek health services in the nearby provinces, such as Isabela, Nueva Vizcaya and even in Manila. The new provincial hospital is a 250 bed capacity with state-of-the-art facilities.. He further said the hospital will not only help sick individuals but also some of the unemployed.
