P63-M bridge inaugurated
BY ALEX A. LUMAQUE
ROXAS City — A P63-million bridge in Brgy. Pangabat, Jamindan town was recently inaugurated. It is officially open to the public and can facilitate the transport of produce to the market.
Pangabat Punong Barangay Lino Calixterio said the bridge is of great help to his constituents and the residents of neighboring barangays.
It shortens their time in bringing their products to the market, he said.
The military personnel will also have a shorter travel from Brgy. Agambulong to their 3rd Infantry Division (ID) headquarters at Camp Peralta.
During the inauguration, 2nd District Cong. Jane Castro thanked Jamindan Mayor Ethel Jinon for facilitating the requirements — like the deed of donation and right of way, among others — for the project.
She also thanked barangay officials and landowners who allowed their land to be used as road leading to the bridge. Jamindan public information officer Norma Chavez said the construction of the project under the President’s Bridge Program (PBP) started after the May 10, 2010 elections.
The ceremony was also attended by former 2nd District Cong. Fredinil Castro, PBP area manager Engr. Elmer Bacus, Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) – Capiz 2nd Engineering District Engr.
Nilo Gavia and some Jamindan municipal officials and employees. (PIA/PN)
