Iloilo-Guimaras economic corridor pushed
ILOILO City Mayor Jerry P. Treñas said President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo is envisioning the establishment of the Metro Iloilo-Guimaras economic corridor.
The proposal was an offshoot of the Metro-Iloilo Development Council (MIDC) originally composed of Iloilo City and the neighboring towns of Leganes, Pavia, Oton and San Miguel.
The MIDC is a collaboration of the said local government units (LGUs) which aims to establish strategies for effective community services such as police, health, transportation, solid waste, water, public housing, and cultural affairs.
Treñas, who also chairs the MIDC, said the President included Sta. Barbara as it will host the new Iloilo airport which is expected to be operational next year. Guimaras Island was considered for its economic and tourism potentials.

i think there are reason why the project is not push thru 1. so as not to exploit guimaras and 2 is officials from both sides had a hard time figuring out how to allocate the budget for themselves. the second reason may take years of planning so as not to really expose the rampant corruption that may take place.
replynami man tani may iloilo guimaras economic summit or corridor. pero sa nabasahan ko sa tanan nga mga projects nila wala gid bisan isa sa listahan nila ang taytay from iloilo to guimaras nga amo pa ina ang dako nga maka bulig sa ila plano nga pa uswagon ang ini nga area.
replyWould be great if the Project Bridge will be implemented. That’s the most important thing to do, and a wake up call between two Officials, for the project to get started as soon as possible. Thanks. :)
