Infra projects underway in Surigao del Norte

SURIGAO CITY, Oct. 2 (PIA) – Surigao del Norte 1st district representative Francisco Jose ‘Bingo’ Matugas II announced that he is working on the construction of Siargao Nautical Highway by 2019, which means putting up of a bridge connecting Hayangabon to Socorro and Socorro to Consolacion, Dapa in Surigao del Norte.

“I am coordinating with Department of Transportation (DOTr) Secretary Art Tugade for the opening of a full-blown Siargao International Airport. That is why we are expanding the roads leading to the Sayak air terminal,” said Matugas.

He also said that all is set for Siargao Materials Recovery Facility in collaboration with Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) Secretary Roy Cimatu.

“We seek to control the production and segregation of waste materials because we do not want to become just another polluted area in this part of the globe. Siargao is well-known in the field of tourism. We have a lot of domestic and foreign visitors, that is why we are doing everything to enrich and improve it,” he added.

He also said that there is a big possibility that President Rodrigo Roa Duterte (PRRD) will soon visit Cloud Nine. “There are four cabinet secretaries who confirmed their attendance in the World Surfing Cup which we will be hosting. House Speaker Sonny Alvarez has a beach house in Malinao, Gen. Luna. We are very optimistic that the president is coming, and most likely, it will be a surprise visit,” he said.

Matugas also attended the blessing and inauguration of the Municipal Public Market, level 3 water system, community fish landing center and Brgy. Talisay Seawall, in line with the Araw ng San Benito.

“Warmest congratulations to all for the infra projects that we are championing. Thanks to former Governor Lalo Matugas for his wholehearted support, for planting the seed which now blossoms and produces fruits. Next will be the rehabilitation of the San Benito Municipal Gymnasium,” he remarked. (FEA/VLG/John Glenn A. Platil, PGO-SDN/PIA-Surigao del Norte)
