Land trips to ports of Tubigon and Jagna will soon be as comfortable and smooth in shorter travel time when the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) finishes next year, the P272-million cementing and rehabilitation works on the Sierra-Bullones to Jagna portion of the port-to-port road.
This, after President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo instructed the DPWH Secretary Hermogenes Ebdane Jr. to include in his department's 2009 budget, the appropriation for the project.
Secretary Cerge Remonde of the Presidential Management Staff, in letter, recently informed Governor Erico Aumentado that the project has already been programmed for funding from the budget of DPWH, as Arroyo instructed.
Remonde's letter was in response to Aumentado's earlier request for the completion of the road linking the port of Tubigon to the port of Jagna as part of the Strong Republic Nautical Highway (SRNH).
The 70.87-kilometer road traverses Tubigon to Sagbayan, Sagbayan-Carmen, Carmen to Sierra-Bullones, and Sierra-Bullones down to Jagna.
Of the 70.87 kilometers, 36.40 kilometers had already been cemented from which is from Tubigon to Sagbayan, Sagbayan-Carmen, Carmen to Sierra-Bullones, while DPWH still has to finish the concreting project at the remaining portion along the Sierra-Bullones to Jagna stretch with a length of 34.47 kilometers.
It is on this portion of the port-to-port road that the P272-million allocation will be spent.
In reporting the development through the weekly radio program, Governor Reports, Friday, Provincial Administrator Tomas Abapo Jr. explained that at present, it would take an hour and a half to travel from Tubigon to Jagna by normal speed.
But when the project is completed, the travel would only take less than an hour from Tubigon to Jagna port via Sagbayan-Carmen-Sierra Bullones route, Abapo explained.
"So we thank the President for having given an attention to the rehabilitation or cementing of the road, in response to the request of Governor Aumentado. So, we hope the project will be done by 2009 so we can have a smooth and comfortable travel in these areas," Abapo said.
The provincial administrator further explained that in the present situation, one who travels from Clarin to Ubay or to Duero, he has to go around some towns passing through Talibon first before reaching Ubay; and has to pass Guindulman before reaching Duero.
If one takes off from Loon, he has to also go round through a number of towns through Tagbilaran to Jagna before reaching Duero.
But, when the road concreting project is finished, one can directly travel from Loon to Tubigon, Sagbayan, Carmen, then to Sierra-Bullones to Jagna straight to Duero or when one takes off from Ubay, he can then pass through Alicia up to Pilar, Sierra-Bullones, then to Jagna, which is a shorter travel. - Angeline Valencia, Press Release
