 One of the top priority projects of DPWH is the development/improvement of Zamboanga West Coa
st Road, a State-of the Nation Address (SONA) commitment of President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo which will complete the circumferential road in Zamboanga Peninsula.
The P3.509 Billion Zamboanga West Coast Road Improvement Project that traverses the municipalities of Sirawai, Sibuco and Siocon in Zamboanga del Norte is at present 5.86% complete.
Divided into four (4) sections namely Sibuco-Sirawai Section, Sirawai-Siocon Section, Siocon-Baliguian Section, and Jct. Baliguian-Gutalac Section, the project involves new road opening/widening, improvement through gravelling and concrete paving.
Its improvement will particularly give comfort to the traveling public and make the road passable in all weather condition.
DPWH Secretary Hermogenes E. Ebdane Jr. has instructed DPWH Region 9 officials to regularly conduct coordination meeting with all project contractors and DPWH project personnel to thresh out problems in project implementation.
Undersecretary Rafael C. Yabut, in-charge of DPWH operations in Visayas and Mindanao, emphasized the need for DPWH Region 9 and Zamboanga Del Norte 2nd Engineering District to constantly monitor the project to ensure that the highest standard of quality in construction as set by the Department is followed by the contractor.
The completion of Zamboanga West Coast Road will lessen problem with peace and order as so-called lawless elements can be easily neutralized by police and the military because of better road access. |

 The Department of Public Works and Highways continuous to provide significant contribution to President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo administration’s socio-economic development program for Mindanao through the improvement of infrastructure facilities.
DPWH Secretary Hermogenes E. Ebdane, Jr. said that the Department is vigorously pursuing the implementation of various road improvement projects as pronounced by the President during her State-of-the-Nation Address (SONA) to improve living condition and boosts tourism.
DPWH Undersecretary Rafael C. Yabut, in-charge of Visayas and Mindanao operations, said that foremost to the list of SONA project in northern tip of Zamboanga Del Norte is the improvement of Dapitan City-Dakak Road along Dapitan-Dakak-Rizal Coastal Loop Road, the only road access to the two (2) tourist spots of Dapitan City, namely: the historic Rizal Shrine and the world class Dakak Park and Beach Resort.
According to DPWH Region 9 Assistant Director Hadji Madsmo Hasim, they are closely monitoring construction works being undertaken by contractors to ensure quality completion based on plans and specifications as directed by the Secretary Ebdane.
“We had instructed the DPWH 3rd Zamboanga Engineering District Office to closely supervise the project and report or immediate address any concerns”, said Madsmo.
DPWH 3rd Zamboanga Del Norte OIC-District Engineer Elnora Gongob reported that the road project under various phases has a total length of 10.795 kilometers, with the Talisay-Sto. Niño Section almost 70 percent completed and accomplishments expected to pick up as weather condition improves.
The coastal loop of Dapitan-Dakak, aside from the tourist attraction, traverses an area rich in marine products and the improvement works will provides a wider market through accessible road.
Dapitan City evokes fond memories of national hero Dr. Jose P. Rizal and a ten (10) hectares of land in Talisay has been reserved thru proclamation of then President Manuel L. Quezon to what is presently known as Rizal Shrine where life and career of the greatest Filipino martyr was spent.
On the otherhand, Dakak Park and Beach Resort attracts tourists worldwide in all seasons because of scenic environment. |
