Wailan; and representatives from I-Build; Social and Environmental Safeguards of Regional Project Coordination Office; and Office of the Provincial Governor- Environment and Natural Resources Unit.
The feasibility study of the said project was presented to the RPAB by Engr. Sias along with the Provincial Engineering Office technical staff. The RPAB is composed of Regional Directors of the DA, Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR), Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG), Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) and Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR).
The bidding of the project shall proceed once the necessary requirements and paperwork are completed.
