NABUNTURAN COMPOSTELA VALLEY, May 7 – To fast track the rehabilitation of roads damaged by typhoon Sendong and excessive heavy rains last January and February, the more intensified LUSONG concept of road repair will take off this month to all municipalities in the Compostela Valley province.
LUSONG is a Cebuano word for advance, its initials also stands for Lihuk katawhan Ubanan ta ang Sensiro, Organisado ug Nagkahiusang Gobyerno. (Move People, Lets Join the Sincere, Organized and United Government)
In a joint meeting conducted by the Provincial Engineering Office with the respective Municipal Engineers of the 11 municipalities last April 19, 2012, two teams (heavy equipment) will be deployed one for District 1 and another one team for District 2. Both team will have 10 heavy equipment to include back hoe, 1 loader, 1 road roller, 2 grader, and 5 dump trucks to shorten the numbers of days of work and to fasten the repair.
Each LGU will counterpart not less than one equipment and the rest of the equipment will be provided by the province including the fuel for the rehabilitation of the provincial road sections. Repair for the municipal and barangay roads will be shouldered by the LGU within its territorial jurisdiction.
Top most priority of the repair is the provincial road sections because this connects barangay and municipal roads which is very busy.
Among the priority list are the 11.5 km. Sto. Niño-Panag-Cogonon Road of New Bataan, 10 km. Araibo-Las Arenas-Tagugpo Section of Pantukan and Maragusan, 5 km. Anitapan-Mascare-Luhong Section of Mabini, 16.30 km. Elizalde-New Leyte-Panamin-Anitapan Section of Maco and Mabini and 49.08 km. Elizalde-New Leyte-Cambagang Section which connects the municipality of Maco and Maragusan.
Also included in the priority lists are the 15.80 km. Nabunturan-Saosao-Nuevo Iloco Section of Nabunturan and Mawab, 17 km. San Roque-San Vicente Junction Highway in Montevista and Nsbunturan, 17.85 km. Nabunturan-Gabi-Compostela Section of Nabunturan and Compostela, 8.80 km. Banlag-Casoon Section of Monkayo and 13.30 km. Maragusan-Magcagong-Parasanon-Paloc Section of Maragusan.
After the provincial roads, the municipal and barangay road repair will immediately follow but the final identification as to what and when it starts will depend on the League of Municipalities of the Philippines’ meeting result presided by LMP President Laak Mayor Reynaldo B. Navarro. (Rodielyn A. Manugas-IDS COMVAL)
