The provincial government of Capiz is hopeful for the completion of the Panay River Basin Integrated Development Project, eyed to address the flooding problem in the province.
In his message during the mass oath-taking ceremony of promoted teachers and school heads from Western Visayas in Capiz on Monday, April 27, Governor Fredenil Castro said he has faith in the statement of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. that he will finish the uncompleted project of his late father.
The Panay River Basin was conceptualized during the time of the late Ferdinand E. Marcos, but was overtaken by events, Castro noted.
“Si Presidente Bongbong Marcos ay merong mga salita na puwedeng panghawakan (President Bongbong Marcos has issued statement that we can rely on),” he said.
Last week, Palace Press Officer Claire Castro announced that the Panay River Basin is one of the projects to be pursued by the Marcos administration in Western Visayas.
Castro urged the people of Western Visayas to protect the President and First Lady Liza Marcos, who is also from this region.
The governor also enjoined school teachers and heads that as they take their oath, they should not only commit to the post they earned under the Expanded Career Progression (ECP) program of President Marcos.
He said that they should also pray for a better future and better direction for the Marcos administration.PNA
