Infra projects ease goods transport in Zamboanga del Norte

The governor of Zamboanga del Norte said the infrastructure projects of the current administration have been helping their constituents address their transportation and security problems.

In an interview, Gov. Roberto Uy said the bridge projects on Zamboanga del Norte are nearing completion.

“‘Yung Triple SB, ‘yung may pinakaraming Muslim na kapatid nating nakatira roon, nasa tabi sila ng Zamboanga City, boundary. Matagal na iyong hinintay ng mga katapid nating Muslim,” he said.

“Iyong mga daan nila, hindi sila maka-travel nang mabuti dahil marami silang ilog. Ngayon, 16 bridges sila doon natatapos na lahat,” he added.

He said the infrastructure projects paved the way for faster transport of their products such as abaca, seaweeds, seafood, copra, and rubber.

“Malaki ang utang na loob ng ating kababayan na Muslim kay President kasi sa tagal-tagal ng mga panahon, walang nakatulong sa kanilang problema,” he said.

He said some areas, particularly the Triple SB has been cleared of New People’s Army and Abu Sayyaf presence.

He also mentioned the P20 million worth of funds to four barangays through the National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (NTF-ELCAC) for the establishment of farm-to-market roads.

“Maganda na ang mga kalye, through and through na ang mga vehicle kaya nagpasalamat kami kasi number one talaga programa ni President ang mga infrastructure project, ‘yun ang nakakatulong sa amin sa peace and order,” he said.

“Itong problema namin sa drugs, hindi na nga magpakita ang mga drug pusher dito eh, natatakot na po sila,” he added. – AG-_# bny
