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.
