BAGAC, Bataan –  The completion of the 50-kilometer four-lane concrete  national road linking the towns of Bagac and Mariveles also known as the starting points of the infamous Death March, would become another industrial site and eco-tourism destination in Western Central Luzon .

Local officials of Bagac town, this province, identified the three coastal villages of Paisawan, Binuangan and Quinawan, all of them facing the panoramic West Philippine Sea.

Nick S. Ancheta, Bagac municipal administrator, has revealed the strategic economic and tourism program of Mayor Louise Gabrielle del Rosario of developing some 190 hectares of upland area as satellite of the fast growing Freeport Area of Bataan in Mariveles.

Ancheta explained the youngest municipal executive in the country foresees the significant advantages to locators and traders of the national road which is strategically situated between two of the country’s foremost freeports namely Freeport Area of Bataan and Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority (SBMA).

According to Ancheta, about 20 local and foreign locators are seriously evaluating the socio-economic profile, long-range infrastructure development plan and revenue earning enterprises and tourism spots in the locality.

With the expected completion of the vital road network, Ancheta said the investors are keenly interested in exploring the diverse marine potentials and aqua-culture resources and  forest tourism farm of the coastal villages.
