PGMA leads groundbreaking rites for road project in Taguig and school bldg. in Marikina
THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 2008
President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo led the groundbreaking rites this morning for the construction of a P69.68-million diversion road project in Taguig City and a P75-million high school building in Marikina City.
Both infrastructure projects are in line with the President’s policy of “frontloading the infrastructure boom and expansion of public services” as a springboard for further economic growth.
In Barangay Palingon, Taguig, the President led the other guests composed of Department of Public Works and Highways Secretary Hermogenes Ebdane, Taguig City Mayor Sigfrido Tinga, Pateros Mayor Jaime Medina, and other local officials in laying the time capsule symbolizing the start of construction of the 28-meter roadway portion of the Taguig-Pateros Diversion Road Project.
The P69.68-million road project forms part of the Commando Link Road Project which will connect Circumferential Road-5 (C-5) and the Maestrang Pinay Road to improve access to and from inner Pateros and Taguig areas, particularly the Global City in Fort Bonifacio.
Once completed, the road project will serve as a major alternate route between the cities of Taguig and Pasig and the town of Pateros and will greatly reduce traffic congestion in major thoroughfares in that part of Metro Manila.
The project is also expected to spur economic development within the area as it complements road linkages to C-5, the Pasig-Pateros-Taguig-Alabang Road and Gen. Santos Street in Taguig.
After being briefed on the requirements and features of the Taguig-Pateros Diversion Road Project, the President proceeded to Marikina City to spearhead the groundbreaking ceremonies for the construction of a four-storey high school building in Barangay Sta. Elena, Marikina.
Upon completion, the P75-million, 20-classroom school building will benefit some 5,000 high school students of Barangay Sta. Elena.
The school building project forms part of the commitment of the President to construct 10,000 classrooms this year under her "Karunungan Sagot sa Kahirapan" program that hopes to empower students with knowledge through education as a means of rising above poverty.
The President recently ordered a "surge in infrastructure spending” as a springboard for further economic growth and to cushion the effects on the Philippines of the slowdown in the United States economy.
