DAVAO CITY- The province of Compostela Valley will be a recipient of 5
road projects under the TRIP (Tourism Road Infrastructure Project).
The projects will have an allocation of P330-million and will be
implemented in 2015 this according to Christine Dompor, Comval’s
Provincial Tourism Officer.
The TRIP is a convergence project of both the Department of Tourism-
(DOT) and Department of Public Works and Highways. And is aimed at
connecting hard-to-reach tourism destinations.
Under the TRIP, the DPWH can develop remote road networks regardless
of classification. “Even if the road is a provincial or barangay road,
the DPWH can still improve on it thru the TRIP.” Dompor said.
Two road projects are located in Maragusan, another pair of road projects in New Bataan and one project in Mabini.
Most of these roads connect to the province’s picturesque waterfalls
such as Tagbibinta and Maranging falls in Maragusan and Malumagpak falls
in New Bataan. A road project connects White Peak mountain in New
Bataan while another TRIP road traverses the beachfront of Mabini
Municipality.
Dompor says the road package will include lighting, drainage and comfort room facilities. (PIA/RG Alama)
