ANINI-Y : Your Next Tourism Hub 1 Month, 2 Weeks ago Karma: 0  
Fil-Am investors eye P300-M project in Anini-y, Antique

By Nestor P. Burgos Jr.

A group of Filipino-American investors will put up a P300-million tourism project in Anini-y town in Antique in a big boost to put the province in the tourism map.

The investors belonging to the Chicago Fil-Am Chamber of Commerce will develop the Hurao-Hurao peninsula in Barangay San Jose in Anini-y town into a world-class tourism destination, said Antique Gov. Salvacion Zaldivar-Perez.

Perez said that around 20 investors headed by Dr. Edmundo Reclusio will visit the site this week again in preparation for the start of the project.

The provincial government and the investors signed an agreement last May to develop the area.

Hurao-Hurao offers a scenic and pristine beach overlooking the magnificent peaks of Cresta de Gallo. The peninsula is near the famous Sira-an hot springs. Anini-y is the southernmost town of Antique. It is a 5th class municipality and is around 40 kilometers from the capital town of San Jose. The town has 23 barangays and has a population of around 20,000.

Perez said Reclusio was captivated by the beauty of Hurao-Hurao when he visited the area two years ago during a trade mission and decided to invest in the province.

"This is a big boost to the province and will bring livelihood and development to our people," Perez said in a telephone interview.

The governor said they will provide relocation and assistance to around 40 families whose properties have been acquired by the investors.

Perez said that because of the project, President Macapagal-Arroyo has has assured the fast-tracking of the rehabilitation and rebuilding of the Tiolas-Hamtic coastal road. The road was main route from Iloilo to Antique until a shorter cutting across San Joaquin town in Iloilo and Hamtic in Antique was opened.

But the original route is set to be reconstructed because the present national road is vulnerable to landslides.

Previously among the country's poorest provinces, Antique last month also launched hydro power plant projects in the towns of Bugasong, Tibiao and Laua-an. The 14-megawatt plants are expected to make the province self-sufficient in its power supply needs. The hydro power plants will be the first in Western Visayas.
