THE construction of the second vehicular flyover in Iloilo City is set to begin next month, according to Iloilo City Mayor Jerry Treñas.

Treñas said Engr. Emil Sadain, executive director of the President’s Bridge Program, visited his office to request the city government’s assistance in the project.

The new flyover project will traverse from the junction of Jalandoni and General Luna Street to the Iloilo American Memorial School on General Luna Street (beside the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration office).

The project will be undertaken by the national government through the President’s Bridge Program.

Treñas said Sadain asked the City government to clear the project site of electric and telephone lines to give way for the construction.

Woodfields Consultants Inc. conducted the soil/geotechnical investigation on the proposed project site before final the construction phase. The design of the flyover is dependent on the soil test.

The mayor said construction will begin once the City Engineer’s Office has cleared the posts and wires in the project site.

City Administrator Melchor Tan also met with representatives of telecom firms whose lines will be affected by the project to seek their help in the clearing works.

Treñas said the Traffic Management and Engineering Unit is preparing a traffic plan for the rerouting of vehicles once the construction begins.

The contractor of the second flyover project is a French firm as the project is funded by the French government through its Mega Bridges for Urban and Rural Development Project.

“If the construction begins next month, the contractor vowed to finish the project by December 2009. The structure will be pre-fabricated and will be almost similar to the first flyover over Infante and General Luna Streets,” Treñas said.

The first flyover project costs P400 million and was undertaken by British firm Mabey and Johnson.

The city government also wants another flyover to be constructed at the Taft North-Diversion Road area where traffic jams are common.

BOTH City Mayor Jerry P. Treñas and Iloilo Governor Niel D. Tupas will play hosts to the national launching of a nationwide caravan of micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) slated on August 14, 2009.

This was announced recently by Ricardo de Vera, chairman emeritus of the Philippine Marketing Association (PMA) and convenor of the project designed to give attention and focus on small business enterprises in the countryside.

De Vera acknowledged that Iloilo has a strong SME base that helps prop the local economy amid the global economic crisis.

Speaking at the SME Otop Fair last July 13, 2009, de Vera also witnessed the launching of Iloilo Brand that depicts the Arroyo Fountain fronting the provincial Capitol here with words “Iloilo’s Finest” to be incorporated in packaging of local products and stickers showing the best of Iloilo products and services.

The branding was conceptualized by college students from the West Visayas College of Science and Technology, University of the Philippines, University of San Agustin, and Central Philippine University with a student from CPU bagging the grand prize of P6,000.

De Vera said a small and medium entrepreneur must take into consideration five things of business. These include, for entrepreneurs, to always revisit the purpose of his undertaking, knowing the customers, building up communication level, purpose, and goal of the business, and branding of the entrepreneur in the forefront of the business.

The PMA head said his organization, which was founded in 1954, has a continuing endeavor to help small businesses come to the forefront through business promotion.
