by Ambrosio R. Villorente
Artificial Reef Project was blessed and deployed in a simple program held in Poblacion, New Washington, Aklan in the morning of Friday, September 5, 2008. It was fully attended despite inclement weather and rain.
New Washington Vice Mayor Jean Velarde welcomed the guests and visitors. Her welcome message was replete with biblical passages dealing with the productivity of man and woman and their capability to provide for themselves.
The message of New Washington Mayor Edgar R. Peralta was a mixture of economics, humanity and politics. He spoke about the looks of provincial governor Carlito S. Marquez and his quest to conquer poverty. Peralta also told the audience of the favorable relation with him and Gov. Marquez.
Governor Marquez spoke about his economic development program. He explained the relationship of population with agricultural productivity and livelihood.
"Aklan has no factory and industries where our people may find employment and income", so job is limited", said Marquez. He announced the banning of the construction of electric power generating plant using fossil fuel in Aklan to help reduce global warming. He hopes for the early construction of hydropower plant in Libacao and Madalag to reduce the cost of electricity in Aklan. According to Marquez, cheaper electricity will induce business to locate in Aklan when the cost of electricity is comparatively cheaper.
With even the meager resources now available in the government and the private sector in Aklan, Marquez believes, poverty will be wiped out. Marquez emphasized to the people of New Washington the benefits this artificial reef will offer to them especially in the availability of food at a very competitive cost.
This artificial reef is made of concrete. It is a joint project of the LGU New Washington, Aklan Provincial Government through the Office of the Provincial Agriculturist, Barangay Poblacion, New Washington and Samahan Ng Mangi-ngisda Ng Poblacion New Washington.
The program ended with the blessing and deployment of the artificial reef by the sea coast. /MP
