New growth centers to create franchises for 800 colorum tricycles
BALON DAGUPAN NEWS
THE development of the new growth centers in the city will pave the way for the creation of additional tricycle franchise to benefit more than 800 colorum tricycles listed by the Public Order and Safety Office.
This was bared by Mayor Belen T. Fernandez as she confirmed that the city is now making a study on the need to establish a common terminal for tricycles along De Venecia highway, one of the new growth centers of the city under the new Comprehensive Land Use Plan.
With the anticipated influx of people in the new government center where we are inviting national government agencies to join us so that we will have a one stop shop government center in addition to the creation of a Business Processing Outsourcing in the area, as the city is being eyed as the new eco-zone for ICT-BPO in the north, we see the need to add more franchise for the tricycles, Fernandez said.
“What we will do is to divide the more than 800 colorum tricycles into two na kung saan may night franchise at day franchise para lahat ay magkaroon ng hanap-buhay. But, mind you that will be the last. Kung may mga bibili pa ng mga tricycle nila wala na. Tapos na. Zero out na tayo sa colorum,” said Fernandez.
On the other hand, Fernandez assured city hall employees that working in the new government center will be as comfortable as possible for everyone, a comfortable place to work to inspire the employees and become more productive.
“I will make sure that you will be proud of the new government center, which is overlooking the river. Along with the boardwalk, I am sure that the new government center will become a tourist spot as well,” said Fernandez.
The existing city hall will become a heritage site. We will just create satellite offices for city agriculture office and the market to be closed with our public market.
“Huwag ho kayong mag-alala. Nakikita ko na po ang pag-asenso ng Pantal-Lucao, Mayombo-Carangalaan-Tebeng and Salisay area once the growth centers are in place,” added Fernandez.
In closing, Fernandez urged city hall employees to work with her and to continuously improved the city’s income “para marami tayong matutulungan” she said. (Joseph C. Bacani/CIO)
