The Tourism Infrastructure and Enterprise Zone Authority (Tieza) aims to resume the implementation of 82 infrastructure projects in local government units that were earlier halted due to lack of funds. Know more:
Also on Tieza’s plate this year, he said, is the continued implementation of ongoing projects amounting to P1.4 billion.
Phase 1 of the island’s water drainage program was completed in 2014 at a cost of some P92 million. Phase 2, with a budget of P1 billion, began in January 2018, and was supposed to be completed in 2020.
Other infrastructure projects for implementation this year include the reconstruction of the Corregidor Breakwater in Cavite; an Assets Rehabilitation Program covering Banaue Hotel, Balicasag Island Dive Resort, Gardens of Malasag, Zamboanga Golf Course and Beach Park; construction of a Modular Docking Facility at Pinagmangalucan, Palawan; and the Development of a New Rizal Park Children’s Playground as well as the refurbishment of the park’s restrooms.
Tieza, a government-owned and -controlled corporation, has targeted to collect close to P5 billion in travel taxes this year, with the easing of international travel restrictions. Of that amount, it will retain 50 percent, or some P2.3 billion. The rest go to the Commission on Higher Education and to the National Commission for Culture and Arts .
