MAGSAYSAY, Davao del Sur– The Department of
Interior and Local Government (DILG) is allocating P2.5-million to construct
five footbridges in different far-flung sitios in this town.
The local government of Magsaysay is also
providing a counterpart of P325,000 to implement the project.
Municipal Engineer Haide dela Torre said the
footbridges will be built at Sitio Labidangan in Barangay Upper Bala, Sitio
Asinan in Brgy. Balnate, Sitio Asbang-Elok in Bacungan, Brgy. San Isidro and
Brgy. Tagaytay.
Dela Torre said that the project is one of the
priority projects under the Bottoms-Up Budgeting (BUB), a government program
designed to involve the grassroots like civil society organizations (CSOs),
people’s organizations, cooperatives, associations and the academe.
Mayor Arthur Davin said the construction of the
footbridges will be a big help to hasten the transport of farmers’ produce as
well as provide a better path for children to go to school.
