Aklan Governor Joeben
Miraflores had a conversation with Caticlan Jetty Port Administrator Nieven
Maquirang.
Maquirang, during the Sangguniang
Bayan (SB) Session in Malay last week, said the Governor told him that he will
be requesting the Department of Transportation and Communication (DOTC) for the
purchase of a Pontoon for the Cagban Jetty Port.
The said pontoon can be
costly. A 100 by 6 meter wide can worth as much as 18 million pesos and is to
be set with canopy and railings.
According to Maquirang,
the province doesn’t have enough funding for this, the reason that they will be
coordinating with the DOTC.
Meanwhile, Governor
Miraflores assures that with DOTC’s help, it will be purchased soon and is
expected to arrive this March or April.
A pontoon at the Cagban
Jetty Port is the solution the provincial government is looking into to
alleviate the sluggish operation of motorboats particularly during low tides.
