Capitol inaugurates P39.7M infra projects in Moalboal

A total of P39.7 million worth of finished infrastructure projects benefitting fourteen barangays in the municipality of Moalboal was inaugurated by the Cebu Provincial Government last week.

Of the budget, P18 million was spent on the construction of multi-purpose centers, P14.3 million for road concreting, and P7.4 million for other projects like a box culvert, drainage system, street lighting and water system.

The multi-purpose centers for nine barangays can be used as trading posts for farmers, as evacuation shelters during calamities, and venue for special occasions such as fiesta celebrations and graduation ceremonies. Each center cost about P2 million for construction.

Meanwhile, the road improvements are seen by the government officials to benefit residents who used to travel on dirt roads. They also provide farmers easy access in transporting their products to the market.

Stated in a press release, the projects were built through the collaborative efforts of the barangay, municipal government, province and the Department of Social Welfare and Development Office under its KalahiComprehensive Integrated Delivery of Social Services project.

Cebu Governor Hilario P. Davide III and Vice Governor Agnes Magpale led the inauguration of the infrastructure projects.

“Kining mga basic infrastructures kinahanglan nga anaa gyud ang mga barangays,” the governor said.

He added that the province will continue to give its full support for projects that would help uplift the lives of the poor especially those living in far-flung areas.

“Kanang panaghiusa nato gikan sa national ug local magbunga gyud og daghan mga proyekto,” Magpale said.

The vice governor added that the provincial government has been working hard to ensure inclusive growth for those in the countryside.

Seventh District Congressman Peter John Calderon, Provincial Board Members Christopher Baricuatro and Jerome Librando were also present during the ribbon-cutting ceremonies. The municipal and barangay officials also joined the activity.
