Phase II of Boracay drainage project up for bidding

BORACAY ISLAND, Aklan, March 9 (PNA) -- The second phase of the Boracay drainage project, eyed to solve the flooding problem in this world-renowned island, is now up for bidding.

The Boracay drainage project is a public-private partnership between the Tourism Infrastructure and Enterprise Zone Authority (TIEZA) and the Boracay Island Water Company.

TIEZA, an agency under the Department of Tourism, will fund the construction of the facility while BIWC, a subsidiary of the Manila Water Company, will be in charge of maintenance and operation.

Jennifer Vergara, BIWC operations head, said the construction for Phase II of the project will start in the first half of the year.

For Phase II, a pipeline will be constructed in Bulabog so that treated water will not be discharged to Bulabog Beach anymore but will be diverted to a wetland in Sitio Lugutan.

Vergara said that once the bidding process is done, construction of the pipeline will immediately start.

Phase I of the project was completed in August 2014. It was designed to solve the flooding within the 11-hectare central business district on the island.

Last year, a multipartite agreement for Phase I was signed by TIEZA, BIWC, local government unit of Malay, provincial government of Aklan, DOT, Department of Environment and Natural Resources, the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Boracay, the Boracay Foundation, Inc. (BFI) and the Boracay Windsport Association, Inc. (BWA).

The agreement aims to ensure proper implementation of the drainage project. (PNA)

John 3:16-18 ESV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
