In the province of Zambales, Castillejos town officials conducted by Mayor Wilma Billman as well as private project supporters did the ground-breaking for the Looc Lake Development Project that imagines to develop the 1.13 square kilometer national lagoon into a lake resort. This lake resort is established 26 kilometers north of and just 30 minutes away from the Subic Bay Freeport Zone, and just 2.5 hours away from Manila.The Castillejos planning office has devised a master plan for the Looc Lake Department Project. The master plan comprises facilities like cancers, kayaks and aqua cycles for water sports enthusiasts, facilities for family oriented enjoyment activities such as fishing and picnics and facilities such as floating grill cum bar and restaurant for those who fish for sport and want to cook their caught fish while village bands using inherent instruments are serenading them. Walkways and trials for bikers, horse riders and trekkers will be constructed in the midst of agoho pine forests. Tracks for off-road motorbikes and all terrain for off-road motorbikes and all terrain vehicles will likewise be constructed. All these facilities will be provided to attract the adventuresome type of guests and tourists. Raising toward better state of roads directing to the planned lake resort had initially been funded PhP2 million by the Castillejos government and additional PhP1 million by Zambales provincial government. Castillejos Mayor Billman expects that the majority of the funding would originate from Castillejos residents in a foreign country. That is why fond-raising drive for the project was started. We hope the fund-raising drive will serve the complement to the fund needed for the completion of project. [Via Manila Bulletin] |
