City Engineer Loben Raphael Ceballos said P47 million was allocated for the development of the eco park.The amount was sourced from P4.4-billion loan of the city government with the Development Bank of the Philippines (DBP).

Mayor Alfredo Abelardo “Albee” Benitez visited the site of the eco park on Sunday, January 14.

Ceballos said the project is in an 8.9-hectare government-owned property. It will have a pavilion, a camping area, picnic area, air soft area, biking area, and a perimeter fence with solar lights.

Ceballos said they are now preparing the specifications and documents for the bidding. “This is one of the projects being fast-tracked,” Ceballos said. 

The eco park that will use solar power as alternative energy source is expected to open within six months and generate income for the city.
