Pres. Duterte implemented some projects in ARMM particularly in the municipalities of Kalingalan Caluan and Omar Sulu by converting a previously no mans land into a local tourism destination.
Some of the major projects in Sulu involves concreting of roads particularly the circumferential roads, making new roads, making new sea ports, and most of all a new hope for the all residents who have neglected by the previous administrations.
Here’s the Complete Accomplishment Report of ARMM-DPWH:
Change can now be felt in the farthest and previously unreachable
corners of Southern Philippines – in the island of the once powerful
Sultanates of Sulu.
Projects
being implemented recently under the Administration of President Duterte
in the Municipalities of Kalingalan Caluang and Omar Sulu by the ARMM
DPWH Projects is converting a no mans land into a local tourism
destination.
local resident said that while he lived a few kilometers from the newly
opened road, because of the lack of roads, he had never been able to go
up those areas the past three decades.
Although he had heard, sometimes in those unreachable areas are where kidnap victims of lawless elements were held.
But with the opening of new roads to the Tagaytay like ambiance, local
residents from as far as Jolo and other municipalities motor to the area
and feel like in another peaceful corner of the globe like tagaytay
highlands.
These areas are one of the rarely visited and
accessible Municipalities mainly because for decades no concrete road
projects had been built here. From 1991 to 2011 only gravelling projects
were implemented by the ARMM until the Hataman administration banned
the programming and implementation of non sustainable gravelling and
regravelling of roads.
DE Zam Arbison said that before Hataman,
the only concrete roads were the National roads which were like the main
spine. But no circumferential roads were concreted. Some were once
opened by cutting of coconuts almost two decades ago but it remained
roads that only people, dirt bikes and a few trucks can enter.
These places were left put from development for more than fifty years
but were at the center of the Moro revolutionary conflict.
Up to
now, there are still violent clan wars that erupt and revolutionary
forces and lawless elements by the hundreds criss cross the heavily
forested landscape.
Nonetheless, with these new roads and ports
in place, the locals have found a new hope for livelihood. They are
blessed with the most fertile of lands and sweetest of fruits and
freshest aquamarine products – which are isolated no more.
Col
Faustino who is the Commanding General of the Military in Sulu told the
DPWH ARMM Secretary that their battles in Sulu against the Abu Sayyaf
may not solve the problem. He said that the real solution and long term
solution is the building of roads to these isolated towns so they can
have alternate sources of livelihood and the communities can be more
prosperous.
He commended the DPWH ARMM Secretary for really going
even to the most isolated areas and actually critical areas a few
hundred meters from battle zones with the lawless elements just to
ascertain and ensure the progress of development works.
At the
rate we are building roads, there is really a huge hope that under the
President Duterte administration, economic development and sustainable
peace will finally come to the poorest, most conflict affected, isolated
and underdeveloped areas like in Sulu.
