PGMA leads inauguration of new Labangan Bridge and groundbreaking of school bldg. in Bulacan
released 2/18/2008
CALUMPIT, Bulacan - President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo inaugurated today the newly-widened and upgraded four-lane Labangan Bridge in this town as part of the overall improvement plan to improve traffic flow along the old Manila North Road and decongest Metro Manila.
The President arrived here at 11 a.m. and led the unveiling of the marker and inaugural drive-through at the Labangan Bridge No. 7 which was previously a narrow two-lane span and the most dilapidated among the seven Labangan Bridges along the Manila North Road, now popularly known as MacArthur Highway.
The construction of the four-lane, 127-meter bridge at a cost of P120 million is part of the continuous widening and improvement of the Manila North Road section from Meycauayan City in Bulacan to Tarlac to decongest the North Luzon corridor and accommodate heavy vechicular flow diverted from the North Luzon Expressway.
Earlier, the President also led the groundbreaking of the two-storey, four-classroom building that would benefit some 1,600 school children at the Bangkal Resettlement Site Elementary School in Barangay Taal, Malolos City.
The construction of the Labangan Bridge No. 7 in Calumpit and the P4-million school project in Malolos are under the P200-billion infrastructure surge that the President earlier announced to blunt the effects of the threatening slowdown of the global economy and sustain the country’s economic growth.
The two-storey Bangkal Resettlement Site Elementary School is also part of the 10,000 classrooms targeted for construction by the Arroyo administration this year in line with the President’s “Labanan ang kahirapan, isulong ang karunungan” slogan.
The President was welcomed very warmly in Malolos and Calumpit by banner-waving residents and students and a show of force by the province's officials led by Gov. Joselito Mendoza, Vice Gov. Wilhelmino Alvarado, 1st District Rep. Ma. Victoria Alvarado, 2nd District Rep. Pedro Pancho, 3rd District Rep. Lorna Silverio, 4th District Rep. Reylina Nicolas, Malolos City Mayor Danilo Domingo, and Calumpit Mayor James de Jesus.
Among the National government officials accompanying the President were Public Works and Highways Secretary Hermogenes Ebdane Jr. and Department of Education (DepEd) Undersecretary Ramon Bacani.
