Dear Cong Leonen-Pizarro:
My warmest greetings!
My town is 5th class, with approximately 17,000 inhabitants. Our main source
of income is agriculture, fishing and domestic tourism. Our rich soil,
protected marine environment and our blessed white sand beaches facing
the Pacific Ocean are our natural riches. We are still one among the many
IRA dependent municipalities however, due to delays in infrastructure
development long neglected by the higher government in which poor
municipalities have long sought for help.
Our road system is approximately 25 kilometers of main access and
approximately 25 kilometers of farm to market roads(FMR). The main access
is 50% concrete while the farm to market roads are approximately 10% with
concrete surfacing and the rest are poorly maintained gravel roads.
It is my wish as the current Municipal Mayor to alleviate the flight of the
impoverished residents of my town, by helping them gain more income from
local opportunities as farming and our tourism potentials, but cant access
them lacking the basic infrastructures which we are not capable of building.
Our income generation will be greatly enhanced and poverty will be reduced
should the following basic road network in our town be funded and
implemented:
1.

Bgy. San Sebastian to Sta. Isabel , Sta. Magdalena FMR10.00M

2. Sitio Matacla, San Eugenio, Sta. Magdalena FMR
10.00M
3. Sitio Pinalwahan, Bgy. Salvacion, Sta. Magdalena FMR10.00M
4. Sitio Buntay, San Roque, Sta. Magdalena FMR 10.00M
Total - Php40.00M
It is this wish that drove me to write your office for funding assistance for our
critical infrastructures, having asked and have submitted numerous requests
to different agencies previously, such as the Dept of Agriculture (DA),
National Disaster Coordinating Council (NDCC), etc., but up to this time has
not responded positively.

Sirang Sta. Magdalena!!

Hope this request will merit your most precious support.

More power and looking forward to your positive response.
Respectfully,

ALEJANDRO E. GAMOS, C.E.

Municipal Mayor

Sirang Sta. Magdalena!!
