FORT RAMON MAGSAYSAY, Palayan City: The Department of Public Works and Highways formally unveiled on Wednesday the plan for the construction of an ocean-to-ocean road project, a part of the administration’s super regions scheme.
Ramon Aquino, DPWH assistant secretary, presented to the public, especially to soldiers, the blueprint of the Subic-Dingalan Port Highway that traverses this huge military reservation.
Defense Secretary Hermogenes Ebdane who made his first official visit in this camp as top defense man, Armed Forces Chief of Staff Gen. Hermogenes Esperon and Army Chief, Lt. Gen. Romeo Tolentino, also viewed the giant road plan.
The road, Aquino explained, will link the port of Subic from the western port of Central Luzon to the Port of Dingalan in the east.
Mentioned during President Arroyo’s State of the Nation address in July last year, Aquino said the project is expected to spur development in the region. It passes by Tarlac and Nueva Ecija provinces. Subic areas are considered industrial while the other provinces involved in the project are mostly agricultural. --Armand M. Galang
