Gov. Arthur Defensor Jr. chaired the 2nd Provincial Development Council Enbanc Meeting on December 14, 2024 at the Casa Real de Iloilo.
The PDC passed resolutions endorsing the proposed programs and projects of the municipalities of Estancia, Sara and Passi City to the Regional Development Council for possible funding.
Some of the proposed infrastructure projects of Estancia include the construction of farm-to-market roads, seawall, 1-storey public market building, and slaughterhouse, among others.
Mayor Jon Aying propose the following projects for the municipality of Sara: construction, repair, and rehabilitation of roads, bridges and drainages for flood control; dredging of waterways; construction of slaughterhouse; concreting of farm-to-market roads; rehabilitation of dilapidated classrooms and school
facilities; and improvement of public plaza, among others.
Governor Defensor committed to provide support to the municipality of Sara in the construction and repair of its school facilities. Providing support to the infrastructure needs of public schools is one of the components of the Bulig Eskwela sang Probinsya (BES Probins) Program of Governor Defensor.
Defensor said the province will also help the municipalities in the establishment of their slaughterhouse and endorse them for possible funding under the Philippine Rural Development Project (PRDP).
Meanwhile, Passi City sought for funding for external road linkages or alternative roads from the city of Passi to the different ports in the region.
