| TUNGAWAN, Zamboanga Sibugay – The municipal government here has embarked on a massive improvement of its infrastructure support programs and development aimed at providing a much improved living condition of the residents of this municipality.
| | ZAMBOANGA CITY, Philippines – A member of a rebel group tagged in the kidnapping of an Australian national was killed while another was arrested in an encounter with government operatives in Sitio Gang in Barangay Mamagon in Naga town in Zamboanga Sibugay province, officials said yesterday. |
|
| |
|
| Town Mayor Randy Climaco said his government has completed two facilities worth P8.5 million inside the municipal market complex here.
| | Chief Superintendent Napoleon Estilles, Police Regional Office 9 director, said the clash occurred when members of the 44th Infantry Battalion and policemen launched a pursuit operation against the kidnap gang allegedly led by Waning Abdusalam at around 2 a.m last Saturday. |
|
| |
|
| The facilities, he said, will serve the farmers regarding their needs while inside the municipal market.
| | Estilles identified the slain suspect as Batoto Abdusalam, alias Halifa Omar.Hader Magatos, who was wounded during the encounter, was captured. |
|
| |
|
| He also disclosed that the main public market where the wet and dry section is located is presently under renovation.
| | Abdusalam’s group is wanted for a series of kidnappings targeting both residents and foreigners in the Zamboanga peninsula. The group, which has links with the Abu Sayyaf group based in Basilan, was tagged in the kidnapping of Australian Warren Richard Rodwell, 56, a native of Sydney. |
|
| |
|
| The mayor said Representative Romeo Jalosjos Jr. (2nd District, Zamboanga Sibugay) funded the project through his Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF).
| | Rodwell, a former soldier married to Filipina Mariflor Gutang, was kidnapped last Dec. 5 at his home in Barangay Upper Pangi in Ipil town. |
|
| |
|
| He also cited the Office of the Presidential Adviser on Peace Process (OPAPP) for providing P2 million for the improvement of the irrigation canals of the municipality.
| | Police and military officials are also looking into the possibility that the group was behind the kidnapping of Salug, Zamboanga del Norte Mayor Jeffrey Lim last April 2. |
| | |
| The Philippine National Police (PNP) also extended additional funding for the construction of a new police station in the municipality, he added.
| |
| | |
| According to Climaco, the massive implementation of various infrastructure projects here is also expected to improve the economic living condi¬tion of the local residents, particularly the farmers.
| |
| | |
| As this developed, Climaco disclosed that education, and health care facilities are likewise included in his priorities for the improvement of the lives of the people here.
| |
| | |
| In another development, the provincial government of Zamboanga del Norte has implemented some P25 million worth of various programs and infrastructure projects during the first quarter of 2012.
| |
| | |
| Zamboanga del Norte Governor Rolando E. Yebes said the various projects were implemented in the 25 municipalities of the province, and in the cities of Dipolog and Dapitan. | |
| | |
| He enumerated the projects as the Sicayab-Bucana-San Vicente Road in Bucana, Sicayab, Dipolog City, the roadway and parking area in San Vicente, Dapitan City, the improve¬ment of the water supply system, and construction of multi-purpose hall in the various villages, and the construc¬tion of several school buildings, con-creting and rehabilitation of various provincial roads, among thers.
