ANGELES CITY — “Sa ngalan po ng Unang Distrito ng Pampanga, nagpapasalamat ako kay Pangulong Bongbong Marcos at kay DPWH Secretary Vince Dizon para sa pondong inilaan sa construction ng Sto. Cristo Flyover.”
Pampanga 1st District Rep. Carmelo “Pogi” Lazatin, Jr. expressed the gratitude of his constituents to the president and the public works secretary for the allocation of funds that will ensure the continuing construction of the flyover on MacArthur Highway in Barangay Sto. Cristo here.
“Malaking tulong ito para sa ating mga kababayan para maibsan ang daloy ng trapiko at gumaan ang kanilang byahe sa araw-araw, lalo ng ang mga empleyado na nanggagaling sa iba’t ibang parte ng Pampanga na dumadaan dito,” he added.
Lazatin joined Dizon in his personal inspection of the on-going construction of the 1.1-kilometer flyover on Jan. 30. The flyover is expected to be completed within two years and is expected to ease the flow of traffic along MacArthur Highway.
Lazatin also thanked the president and the DPWH for granting the request of Mabalacat City Mayor Gerald Aquino for the construction of the Atlu-Bola Bypass Road, also within Pampanga’s 1st District.
“Ang Atlu-Bola Bypass Road ay makakatulong para guminhawa ang daloy ng trapiko sa Lungsod ng Mabalacat, lalo na sa mga sasakyan na nanggagaling ng NLEX,” Lazatin said.
According to Dizon, it is the President’s direct instruction to ensure that infrastructure projects are completed immediately.
“Dakal tang proyektu – e mu keni Pampanga, all over the country – makatengga la. So ing sabi ning presidenti, e ne pwedi ita. Kailangan ariyan tana la ngan, once and for all kasi makalunus la reng kababayan tamu,” Dizon said.
