SAGADA, Mountain Province -- The vestry of Church of  St. Mary the Virgin here offered the existing road at the Mission compound in place of the controversial proposed diversion road to ease traffic in this heavily visited tourist town.

Church officials said the road within the church compound to SitioDaoangan could be improved.

Presented during consultation recently before town folksy, CSMV secretary Eduardo Umaming  said existing road shall would connect  ball grounds  of the Mission compound now used for parking spaces during heavy tourist days.

Parking along the national road had caused heavy traffic along narrow streets of the town.

The proposed road would be a one–lane street, for light vehicles only, and open only during certain hours of the day.
Existing road refers to the road entering the gates of the Mission Compound near the St. Theodore’s Hospital to Latang upwards to the foot of the stairs to the rectory, joining the road going to St. Mary’s School then downwards to the soccer field  to connect to Daoangan.

Bishop Brent Alawas of  the Episcopal Diocese of Northern Philippines (EDNP) earlier proposed a diversion road along borders of the Mission compound from the main road to  sitio Deccan  to Sayocyoc to “prevent encroachment”, then on to Daoangan.
