Ipil, the capital town of Zamboanga Sibugay Province bordering the eastern boundary of this city will soon have its Pasalubong Complex to house all delicacies and souvenir items and other locally produced products by the local entrepreneurs of the province.
The town sits at the crossroads to Zamboanga del Norte, Zamboanga del Sur and on to the other provinces and cities in mainland Mindanao and this city.
This on-going project is part of efforts to fast track the economic development of the Ipil and its bid for city hood.
Zamboanga del Norte has two component cities, Dipolog and Dapitan; Zamboanga del Norte has Pagadian City – the official regional center of the Zamboanga Peninsula Region, but the Province of Sibugay does not have any component city yet.
Ipil Mayor Eldwin Alibutdan said that the municipality of Ipil, as the center of trade and commerce and the capital town of Zamboanga Sibugay, is preparing for its city hood and thus the reason to prioritize infrastructure projects in the municipality.
He also said that the on-going Pasalubong complex situated near the town's public market, the renovation of the town's municipal hall, town plaza, roads and streets, municipal hospital and clinics, were among the infrastructure projects.
The mayor said the Pasalubong Complex would provide traders in the province with a place to sell their wares to the local populace and the thousands of people who pass by the municipality on the way to this city and to other parts in Mindanao.
The Mayor also said that the municipality must also hurdle its water supply problems, unemployment, environmental degradation and other forms of destruction, improper garbage segregation and undeveloped potential scenic spots.
