TABUK CITY, Kalinga -- The
provincial government has formed a committee to deal on road right-of-way
(RROW) problems now causing delay on road improvement projects.
Gov. Jocel Baac, told a media
forum an executive order will be issued to form the committee composed of the
Department of Public Works and Highways, Provincial Engineering Office,
National Irrigation Administration, Provincial Legal office, Department of
Environment and Natural Resources, Department of Interior and Local Government,
Integrated Bar of the Philippines, Land Transportation Office, Armed Forces of
the Philippines, Philippine National Police, Provincial Assessor’s Office,
Tabuk city local government unit, and the National Commission on Indigenous
Peoples.
Natividad Sugguiyao, provincial
NCIP officer, was named chairman of the committee tasked to act with dispatch
on RROW problems so that development could be smoothly carried including routes
of drainage canals in Bulanao area and Avocado creek in Dagupan, both of this
city.
He urged committee members to
dialogue with RROW encroachers and to recommend solutions.
The creation of the RROW
committee was prompted by the delayed construction of a six-lane road in
Bulanao when RROW encroachers secured a temporary restraining order from the
court allegedly on the environment effects of the project. – PIA, Kalinga
