Cable transport set in Mt Prov
>> Sunday, July 17, 2022
BAUKO, Mountain Province – Cable transporters are set to be installed in
this scenic town to add to its tourism allure.
The Dept. of Science and Technology-Cordillera Administrative Region (DOST-CAR), Saint Louis University (SLU), Bauko local government and Towadan-Bito Farmers’ Association (TBFA) signed a memorandum of agreement for establishment of Cableways for Agricultural Resource Transport System (CARTS) here in Monamon Sur on June 23.
Funded by the DOST under its Niche Centers for the Region (NICER) program with a counterpart funding of P1.1 million from Bauko local government, this project will address lack of adequate means to transport agricultural produce through cable cars locally adapted to the terrain of Cordillera.
Farmers need to hire local porters to carry agricultural produce to the nearest farm-to-market road.
The cable-supported infrastructure will provide an alternative system for transporting goods that will improve agricultural activities and outputs in the province.
Cordillera DOST-CAR director Dr. Nancy A. Bantog in her message delivered by engineer Angel L. Maguen, said this partnership is designed to help highland farmers have safe and cost-efficient means of transporting their agricultural produce and increase farm yield through improved and innovative technologies.
She said the DOST-CAR, in its advocacy of effecting change and development through science, technology and innovation, will sustain its support to invaluable partners and stakeholders in the region.
Meanwhile, Mayor Abraham B. Akilit said this project was the first of its kind in their municipality and commended the DOST-CAR for having been their reliable partner in delivering technology-driven development in the municipality.
He added as he steps down as mayor, he hoped the DOST will continually bring relevant STI programs in the municipality.
Joseph P. Banias, the president of Towadan-Bito Farmers’ Association, expressed his gratitude to SLU, LGU Bauko and DOST-CAR for identifying them as beneficiary of the project.
The said project is under the Program Boondock: A mountain engineering center towards sustainable infrastructure and upland water security which aims to aid in the preservation of the region’s mountains amidst natural disasters and urbanization through innovative engineering solutions. -- DLQ
