More infra projects in DavNor this 2022 under Build, Build, Build



DAVAO DEL NORTE, Mar. 23 (PIA) -- Davao del Norte will be the recipient of more infrastructure and road network projects from the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) under the Build, Build, Build Program.


This year, the province will have infrastructure and road projects worth P4.631B from the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) with over 192 projects now being implemented, said DPWH XI Information Officer Dean I. Ortiz in a radio interview today (Mar. 23). Ortiz also said that this budget will increase given that "we are still in the first quarter of the year."

"As a little background on our budget history, we started 2017 with a P4.8B budget in Davao Del Norte. At first, our budget here prior to this administration was only less than P1B. In 2018 it received a P3.6B. In 2019 it is at P2.6B. By 2020, P3B and by 2021, P3.5B, and now in 2022, we already have P4.6B now and it will still go up. So for the past 5 years under the Build, Build, Build Program, we have already accumulated P22.35B worth of budget from the national government 1,487 projects have been implemented in Davao Del Norte alone,” said Ortiz.

He mentioned the road widening projects in the City of Tagum specifically the intersection in Daang Maharlika and the CDRRMO facility in Canocotan, Tagum City via San Miguel, Tagum City going to the Provincial Capitol of Davao Del Norte which would take only 7 minutes.

Ortiz also discussed the Carmen - Tagum City Coastal Road which is an ongoing project now except that some parts are having problems with occupants' right of way. 


However, DPWH is coordinating with the Provincial Engineers Office and City and Municipal Engineers Office of concerned LGUs to ask the occupants to pave the way for government projects to be implemented.

Access roads to Agusan Del Sur and San Fernando, Bukidnon will soon be open via Davao Del Norte routes which Ortiz called as the missing gaps in the region to ease the travels of the residents in Davao Region.

These projects are of great help in terms of the trade between these three provinces, Davao Del Norte, Agusan Del Sur and Bukidnon, and other than that, the prevailing peace and order problem will improve in terms of lessening the atrocities from our brothers and sisters on the left, he added.

Ortiz also highlighted that these major access roads will open the provinces to tourism opportunities. (PIA XI / Ezri Coda Jr.)
