Mayor Louise Gabriel del Rosario said that more than 700,000 tourists visit Bagac yearly and he wanted this number to increase with the building of a tourism center and the development of more ecotourism projects.
“We will build a tourism center that will become the first municipal tourism building in 11 towns and one city in Bataan. Then, we will prepare our tourism programs so that Bagac will be more known not only in the Philippines but in other countries as well,” the mayor who turned 22 last July said.
He said that products and different places to visit will be showcased in the center. Del Rosario said the project will be funded for P2 million with P1.8 million from the Bottom Up Budgeting Program and the rest from the local government. It will rise near the Philippine-Japan Friendship Tower.
