A September 10, 2012, press release from the Department of Transportation and Communications
The Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) is set to develop another ten municipal ports in different parts of the country costing about P97 million.
In an invitation to bid published Tuesday, the DOTC said this infrastructure project is being undertaken “in anticipation of the increased passengers and cargo throughput in the Philippines.”
The procurement program aligns with the DOTC master plan set by outgoing Secretary of Transportation Mar Roxas to reengineer the Philippines’ transport system to make it Convenient, Affordable, Reliable, Efficient, and Safe.
To be developed are ports located in San Andres, Catanduanes; Catarman and Balbagon, Mambajao in Camiguin; Kaputian, Samal in Davao del Norte; Malimono, Surigao del Norte; Kiamba, Sarangani province; and Gigaquit, Surigao del Norte.
Three ports will also be developed in Sarangani municipality, Davao del Sur province: the Batuganding wharf, Mabila port, and Patuco port.
The DOTC assured that this project, clustered in eight procurement lots, will undergo an open and transparent bidding process where all interested and qualified providers can participate.
These projects are in line with the government’s drive to pump-prime the economy and modernize the Philippines’ transport system in a bid to dramatically raise rural incomes, literacy, and improve health conditions in the countryside.
