LINGAYEN residents are anxiously waiting for the construction of the Limahong Channel Tourism Center (LCTC) because of the economic opportunities that it promises them.

Lingayen Mayor Leopoldo Bataoil said the construction of the LCTC Phase 1 project was funded by the national government with Php50 million, includes the construction of the multi-purpose building where various events can be held.

Bataoil said the help of the DPWH has been sought to ensure the funding of the LCTC Phase 2 project that involves the perimeter fence and wharf.

A ferry terminal will also be constructed to ferry tourists from the LCTC to Hundred Islands National Park in Alaminos City.

Bataoil said he is keen on duplicating the Lubok River Cruise of Bohol in Lingayen, noting the huge impact of Bohol’s river cruise in tourism.

The Limahong Channel had been identified as a tourist spot in 2018 by virtue of House Bill 6682 authored by Bataoil when he was still a representative of the 2nd District of Pangasinan. (Jerick Pasiliao)
