MALUNGON, Sarangani – Rep. Manny Pacquiao has unveiled plans of converting a portion of the 3-hectare acquired property that is located near the landfill site into a multi-purpose eco-park during the culmination of the five-day Malungon town’s 46th Founding Anniversary in Sarangani Province.
The Congressman and wife, Vice Gov. Jinkee Jamora-Pacquiao was assisted by pal, Mayor Reynaldo F. Constantino in unveiling on stage the huge tarpaulin that features the Eco-Park’s blueprint, two days after conducting an on site inspection at the 80 percent completed P4.9m-worth construction of a Tourism Center in Sunken Arena here.
Municipal Engr. Rodrigo Palec, said designed to be equipped with various communication and office facilities, the Congressional Office-funded tourism hub, now in its finishing touches by the Department of Public Works and Highways, is located right at the northern-mid portion of Sunken Arena that was then a public dump site and pasture area for working animals prior to the assumption into office by Constantino in 2007.
The same point was used by Constantino in presenting his last and final public address which featured the changes and developments that Malungon have had gained under his 9-year administration that will about to end, next year. (Please see related story re: RFC’s final state of the public address).
Pacquiao, who was the center of gratitude and appreciation by Constantino due of his unremitting support and goodness to Malungonians even when he was not yet a Congressman (then a municipal tourism chairman of the municipality) of Sarangani, also gave credence and high regard to all the accomplishments that his friend (Constantino) gave his town, from a then hard-up municipality into a leader of progress and development in the province.
In a public statement, Pacquiao said the eco-park will be of big assistance for locals not only in availing additional source of employment and preservation of natural wealth, but in the production of composting facilities that is widely useful in agricultural needs, as well.
Officials said the planned eco-park in Sitio Nanima, Brgy. Publication will be the same site for the construction of a wide integrated waste management compound, with composting facilities that can accommodate approximately 900 tons of bio waste in 60 days at 15 tons/ day. It is designed to produce about 3 tons of organic soil (humus) per day; and likewise for the location of a (3mx4mx2.5m) material recovery facility, an organic vegetable garden, orchard, training center and leisure facilities; Menro Office, and a butterfly garden for tourist and local viewers.
For their part, Sarangani Gov. Steve Chiongbian-Solon and the congressman's better half Vice Gov. Jinkee Jamora-Pacquiao, also assured Malungonians of unrelenting support, with noble aims to uplift the living condition of their beloved constituents.
The upcoming project was presented by Pacquiao following a Rose Feed the Children (RFC) gathering that he first attended on the third day of the recently concluded five-day (July 11-15) celebration in town.
Participated by hundreds of pre-schools, RFC Day is a cheery gathering that is being exclusively held for local children every year, in line with the natal day celebration of the mayor’s better half, Roselyn Dadivas-Constantino. (Isagani P. Palma - MALUNGON INFORMATION OFFICE).
