The convergence project between the DPWH and the Department of Tourism (DoT) is in line with the government’s efforts to enhance tourism by providing adequate water sources.

The budget released was taken from the DPWH’s budget for Water Supply and Sanitation for poverty areas and tourism priority sites under the 2014 General Appropriation’s Act (GAA).

“Through the joint efforts of these agencies, the Administration has identified various in-need locations nationwide which have been waterless for years now. As poor as these communities have been, however, we understand their potential for growth, especially through local tourism. Our latest fund release aims to respond to this need and potential by developing water supply facilities in these areas,” Abad said.

The areas leading in the list for priority implementation include cities of San Carlos in Negros Occidental and Dapitan in Zamboanga del Norte.

Both the top priority development areas were allocated P138.6 million.
