A chief executive of the local government unit of Bansalan bares plans of addressing the town’s water system and the promotion of its tourism industry.
Mayor Edwin Reyes said they are working with the local water district in order for the town to have a viable water system.
He recognized that the absence of drinkable water shies away investors.
“We are working with our water district office here since the community needs a good water source, while infrastructure programs like concreting of the city streets run secondarily, ” Reyes said.
He said the town mulls of tapping tourism potential areas like Balutakay in Barangay Managa which is overlooking the Davao del Sur province.
Reyes said they want to maximize the tourism potentials of Sitio Balutakay that will become the summer capital of the province just like its adjacent barangay in Kapatagan, Digos City, Davao del Sur.
He claimed the operation of the modernized vehicles using the Aplaya-Digos-Kapatagan-Balutakay-Bansalan Proper and vice versa route will surely help not only the farmers but also domestic and foreign tourists.
Reyes said the route will also boost Bansalan’s economy as it passes by Barangay Managa towards Bansalan Proper and Vice Versa.
“The initiative of the Kapatagan Transport Cooperative will surely boost the vegetable farming and local tourism in the area, because they will ensure accessibility from the ridge to the sea. People who have to vehicle can now definitely reach these areas,” he said. (PIA XI-Joey Sem G. Dalumpines)
