OROQUIETA CITY, Misamis Occidental—Governor Henry S. Oaminal's administration has initiated a comprehensive Transformation Program Plan to uplift communities across Misamis Occidental through strategic infrastructure projects.

During the 2nd Quarter CY 2024 quarter joint Provincial Development Council (PDC), Provincial Peace and Order Council (PPOC), Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (PDRRMC), and Misamis Occidental Provincial Anti-Drug Abuse Council (MOPADAC) meeting on June 25, 2024, key initiatives were outlined, including the construction of a 3.63 km road in Barangay San Pedro at P80 million and the 30-meter Pit-os Bridge at P30 million, addressing high poverty incidence and improving access for its 194 residents. Similarly, the 3.29 km farm-to-market road in Barangay Nayon, Concepcion, costing P65.8 million, will enhance the lives of its 997 residents by facilitating better transportation for agricultural products.

The P200 million investment in the Mitugas to Gala Road and bridge in Tudela will benefit 1,169 constituents, reducing poverty in this GIDA and conflict-affected area. Concreting the Poblacion-Virayan-Bagong Nayon Road in Concepcion for P80 million and the Virayan to Pugan Road for P50 million will improve access to government services for 2,223 residents, significantly reducing the current 68% poverty rate.

The P70 million project for the Brgy Siloy to Singalat Road in Calamba will provide easier access for thousands of residents to market their agricultural produce. The P70 million Binuangan to Senote Road in Oroquieta City will facilitate service delivery to 1,989 beneficiaries. Additionally, concreting roads from Brgy. Mialem to Brgy. Carmen and Seti in Jimenez will cost P100 million, boosting local connectivity.

The P15 million water system in Barangay Dapacan Alto, Calamba, will ensure clean and safe water for its 1,068 residents, improving hygiene and quality of life. A P5 million telecommunication tower in Barangay Sebucal, Oroquieta City, will enhance connectivity for 2,149 residents across five barangays, fostering economic growth and better emergency response.

The P13 million investment in additional classrooms and manpower at Dalingap Elementary School supports converting it into an integrated school, addressing educational needs for former rebels and youth. Small business development assistance for 112 former rebels includes support for rice trading, gasoline retailing, and agrivet supplies distribution, empowering them economically.

The establishment of a multi-purpose space for former rebels, combined with market linkage initiatives, will facilitate fair pricing and economic independence by bypassing middlemen, ensuring direct market access, and promoting collective bargaining.

Governor Oaminal's Transformation Program underscores a commitment to a peaceful, prosperous, and resilient Misamis Occidental, driving significant improvements in infrastructure, education, and economic opportunities. (SN/PGMO)
