THE City Government of Tagbilaran is moving forward with several major infrastructure and tourism projects.
Mayor Jane Yap conducted site inspections in Tagbilaran and met with regional officials of the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) and the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) in Cebu.
Mayor Yap inspected three key projects in Tagbilaran: the Tourist Rest Area at the Blood Compact Site, the Tagbilaran Multi-Use Sports Facility and Youth Center, and the Tagbilaran Causeway.
The Tourist Rest Area and the Multi-Use Sports Facility and Youth Center are now ready for turnover.
The tourist facility was undertaken in partnership with the Department of Tourism (DOT) through former DOT Secretary Christina Frasco and Tourism Infrastructure and Enterprise Zone Authority (TIEZA) Secretary Mark Lapid.
The sports facility received support from Senator Pia Cayetano.
Mayor Yap said site inspections give the city government an opportunity to check project progress and ensure that planned facilities are delivered for public use.
Mayor Yap traveled to Cebu for a project coordination meeting with DPWH Region VII Regional Director Engr. Simon Arias and DENR Region VII Regional Director Laudemir Salac.
She was joined by representatives from the City Engineering and City Planning offices.
The meeting focused on aligning the implementation of major projects, including the rehabilitation of the Tagbilaran Causeway, Manga Fishport, Poblacion II Barangay Development, and the proposed One-Stop-Shop Government Facility at the Tagbilaran Port.
Mayor Yap said the discussions aimed to improve coordination between local and national agencies and address implementation concerns affecting priority projects.
The City Government of Tagbilaran’s approach is centered on projects that directly benefit communities and provide services and facilities that residents can use.
