DAGUPAN CITY - Department of Public Works and Highways Secretary Mark Villar had a relaxing time Monday (Jan. 18) at the Tondaligan Beach Baywalk just moments after inaugurating the Urdaneta Bypass Road.
Villar dropped by the 1.2 kilometer-baywalk area which is a project of congressman Christopher De Venecia.
“I felt like I’m in another country,” said Villar during his visit.
The Baywalk has enough spaces for bike lanes, park benches, plants and ramps that provide enough access to Persons with Disabilities (PWD).
The first phase of the project is meant for pedestrians and cyclists while the next phase will be for other planned attractions. Villar promised to provide needed support for the completion of the project.
De Venecia meanwhile considers the Tondaligan Baywalk, which is also backed by the Department of Tourism, as a crown jewel not only of his district but of the entire province of Pangasinan.
Based on the project, the Tondaligan Baywalk will be extended up to Barangay Bonuan Binloc to Barangay Bolasi all the way up to its adjacent San Fabian.
