Infra projects seen to boost economy

ROXAS City – Infrastructure support projects have become one of the top priority agenda of the government.

Presidential Management Staff Chief Cerge Remonde disclosed that the government is fast tracking the completion of 21 priority road and bridge projects by 2010.

Remonde explained that the said priority projects will surely contribute to the agribusiness, tourism, economic and job development of the country that will directly benefit the people in the countryside.

He said that the government is improving, rehabilitating, extending, expanding or constructing 20 priority road projects and one major bridge project costing a total of P96.688 billion nationwide by 2010.

These projects, he said, are in line with President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo’s super regions concept that will promote tourism, logistics and faster and cheaper transport of agricultural products to the market.

Remonde stressed that the road projects aim to boost economic development in each super region by strengthening the linkages between provinces and between the super regions.

In Capiz, the provincial government has an on-going concreting of a one-kilometer road per municipality in the 16 towns and one city.

In addition, there is also an on-going construction of the President’s Bridge that connects the barangays of Tiza and Banica, Roxas City.

Provincial Administrator Ronald Amigo said these infrastructure projects will help Capiceños, particularly the farmers, in bringing their products to the markets.

There is also a new water supply system coming online within a couple of months I'm told. Additionally with elections just around the corner lots of upgrades going on with buildings, fences (hospital areas) and BayBay Beach is being made into a park where the old eating places were. They moved them all down the beach.

Gov’t lending arm grants P3.6M loan to SMEs

ROXAS City – The Small Business Guarantee Finance Corporation (SBGFC) has granted loans to small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Capiz amounting to more than P3.6 million.

Capiz Trade and Industry Provincial Director Rebecca Rascon also said the government financing arm also extended loans to Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) employees as part of the government’s re-lending program.

The new livelihood loan program aims to reach the country’s more than one million government workforce, with each employee expected to avail of a P5,000 initial loan.

Government employees are expected to avail themselves of second income opportunities.

With the government’s setting aside of P1 billion fund for the Puhunang Pangnegosyo Para sa Kawani ng Gobyerno, government employees will more likely become micro-entrepreneurs.

President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo said that with the new package of benefits for government employees, they would be able to put up their own businesses as 2nd income opportunities through the new credit window.

The new loan facility is part of the social payback to the people after the government implemented radical revenue measures that have contributed to the present lofty standing of the Philippine economy, the President said.

The President said that the loans will be in the form of wholesale lending by government financing institutions namely, the People’s Credit and Finance Corporation, Development Bank of the Philippines, Land Bank of the Philippines and Quedan Corporation.

Said loan could also be availed of from the national Livelihood Support Fund and Small Business Guarantee Finance Corporation (SBGFC) with government employee cooperatives and associations as their retail institutions.

Can anyone direct me to a half decent street map (be a particular bonus if it shows the old rail lines) of Roxas City on the internet?
I am trying to work out where I got a few of my recent RC photos.

Much thanks

I went out this last weekend with some people in from the US. Susan and I took them on a river trip that goes out to the fishing grounds and then opens to the sea.
I thought perhaps some of you might enjoy this video and it might bring back some great memories.

Hope you all enjoy
