THE P74-million green space project of Zamboanga City will “improve and connect the public open spaces in three identified areas,” according to Assistant General Services Officer Riza May Basing. In a statement from the city government, Ms. Basing, an architect, said the areas are: Waterfront city zone, which includes the RT Lim boulevard and Paseo del Mar; heritage city zone, covering the central business district along with the mini parks in the area, and the eco city zone that includes the Pasonanca and Abong-Abong areas. The project is one of the approved proposals under the Department of Budget and Management’s P2.59-billion Local Government Support Fund for “green” infrastructure. The project fund is expected to be released within the 3rd quarter this year. — Mindanao Bureau
