Iloilo City (21 April) — Presidential Management Staff Chief Cerge Remonde said some P29.1 billion has been allocated by the national government for infrastructure projects for Western Visayas aimed to boost farm production and transport.

Remonde, during the recent awarding ceremonies of the Best Public Sector Projects in Western Visayas held in this city, said these projects included two major roads, four airports, one roro port, one flood control and three power electrification projects.

Two of the four airports, said Remonde have already been completed. These are the New Iloilo Airport in Cabatuan, Iloilo and the Bacolod-Silay Airport in Bacolod City.

“Except for the flood control projects, all these are to be completed by 2010″, said Remonde.

Earlier this year, President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo has ordered a “surge in infrastructure spending” as a springboard for further economic growth

Remonde added that infrastructure programs make possible the seamless movement of farm products to markets, of passengers from destination to destination.

In line with this, he cited the importance of the Rehabilitation of the Aganan River Irrigation System and Enhancement of Agricultural Support Service projects of the National Irrigation Administration VI (NIA VI) in Iloilo to bolster food production.

The said project of NIA was among the winning projects included in the Best Public Sector Projects for 2006-2007. It won 2nd place in the Regional Line Agencies category. (Philippine Information Agency)
