“The president wants to see that road finished when he retires in 2016,” del Rosario told local officials at the third outreach of the Davao del Norte Convergence for Peace and Development in Igangon, San Isidro, this province.
The representative said the national government is releasing this year another P70 million for the Asuncion-Laak Road, in addition to the P95 million provided last year for the upleveling and concreting of the road, which passes through Barangay Igangon.
Cong. del Rosario also bared more nationally-funded projects are in the pipeline in his district, to include the electrification of yet unlighted remote areas and the development of local tourism sites.
He said some P38 million is appropriated for the rural electrification program in the province.
While the province is also included in the national government’s list of tourism development priorities, where billions of pesos will be poured in to improve access going to tourist destinations.
