More tourists and residents can now easily access the tourist destinations of Tagoloan, Lanao del Norte with the completion of a road concreting project of the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH).
Public Works Secretary Mark A. Villar said that a P14.32-million road project, which covers concreting of the 2-lane scenic 645-meter road from Sitio Pendolonan in Barangay Kiazar serves as an access road and allows convenient travel to the amazing natural scenery of springs and waterfalls in the newly declared tourist destination of Mighty Cave Park in Tagoloan, Lanao del Norte.
“With the newly concreted access road, locals and tourists will now experience seamless travel, while at the same time, help boost the tourism growth and socioeconomic status of the province,” said Villar.
The project is also expected to stimulate job and economic development in the municipality of Tagoloan.
Based from a report of DPWH Regional Office 10 Director Zenaida T. Tan, the DPWH, in coordination with the Department of Tourism (DOT), programmed the construction of the access road in line with the national government’s thrust in enhancing and stimulating the tourism and economic sector of the country.
