The Tanjay City government is set to construct concrete roads and farm-to-market roads in its barangays from a support fund of P28 million from the Seal of Good Housekeeping award earned by the city granted by the Department of Interior & Local Government.
Mayor Lawrence Teves said in a media conference held Tuesday that Tanjay City has received the award for its implementation of good governance plans and programs, including delivery of basic services to the people and sound fiscal management.
Mayor Teves said with the P28 million prize, the city government has added P3 million as its counterpart for Brgy. Bahian road concreting and another P3 million for a farm-to-market project.
The P12 million is allocated for road concreting project from Brgy. Pal-iw to Sta. Cruz Nuevo, while another P13 million for the same infrastructure project from Sicopong River to Sto. Niño center with a total of P31 million.
In the same presscon, the newly constructed 700-meter boulevard was showcased where the city government recently added an allocation of P11 million for the construction of a sea port connecting the boulevard.
With this seaport, Teves said the city government may allow fastcrafts to moor and take trips to and from Bato, Cebu. (RMN/JCT-PIA7)
