BORACAY ISLAND, Aklan - Aklan Governor Carlito Marquez is expected to hold his 7th State of the Province Address (SOPA) February 2 at the Sangguniang Panlalawigan session hall in Kalibo, Aklan.
Among his major accomplishments in year 2010 were the start of the reclamation project in Boracay which he said could expand tourism lure for this resort island. Recently, he also signed a memorandum of agreement (MOA) with the Department of Health.
The MOA indicates the establishment of the Satellite Treatment Hub facility for the province. The said hub is for monitoring and diagnostics for Persons Living with HIV-AIDS in the province.
Said facility will be opened at the Dr. Rafael S. Tumbukon Memorial Hospital also in Kalibo, Aklan.
Marquez promised in his previous SOPA that the reclamation project although controversial would put the province in a billion peso industry. Local governments of Malay and some stakeholders of this resort island are opposing the reclamation project.
Currently, all department heads of the provincial government are in the thick of preparations for the coming SOPA.
