TACLOBAN CITY (PNA) – The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) has been upgrading road networks leading to five tourism sites in Southern Leyte.
“These tourism access roads will not only attract more tourists and travelers but will also provide locals easier transportation of their goods and farm products to commercial districts. Hopefully, these projects will unlock economic opportunities for communities near these sites,” DPWH-Southern Leyte District Engineer Manolo Rojas said.
Rojas was referring to the projects to improve access to Fatima Hills in Macrohon, with a budget of P2.61 million; Crater Lake in San Juan (P24.5 million); Ollies Wall dive site in Liloan (P9.8 million); Guinsaugon Lake (P9.8 million); and Bird Sanctuary and Mangrove in St. Bernard (P9.8 million).
