In his request for financial assistance addresssed to Department of Tourism Regional Director Butch Chan, the mayor wrote, “While we are elated on this development, things are still need to be done like the construction of swimming pool, park entrance, gateway, view deck and picnic grove. We firmly believe that these components can pool people to visit the area once constructed. I hope you can assist us in sourcing funds for this purpose,” reads portion of Mayor Jajalla’s letter request.
