Emerging as a shining example of Bataan's commitment to sustainable tourism, the Orani Tourism Park stands as a testament to the success of the FY 2022 Seal of Good Local Governance – Incentive Fund (SGLGIF) in the municipality. This initiative aims to help the town become one of the premier tourism destinations in the province.
Transforming into a model attraction, the newly developed park reflects the triumph of collaborative efforts between government agencies, civil society organizations, and the local government unit. With expansive green spaces and a welcoming ambiance, the park has become a distinctive landmark—a great sight for those who are passing through the Roman Superhighway or going to nearby upland resorts.
DILG Regional Director Atty. Anthony Nuyda emphasized the significant impact of the project during his message at the turnover and inauguration ceremonies. He highlighted that this project will undoubtedly benefit the residents, particularly the tricycle drivers and tourists.
Meanwhile, Mayor Efren “Bondjong” Pascual, Jr. expresses sincere gratitude for the collaborative spirit that propelled the successful completion of the project which is also a product of the prestigious SGLG award. The mayor envisions Orani as a key contributor to the growing opportunities in Bataan.
The completion of the SGLGIF project signifies a pivotal moment, not only for the residents but also for visionaries and advocates of sustainable tourism, heralding a new era for Orani and Bataan as a whole. This landmark project, geared towards enhancing Bataan's economic and developmental prospects, was ceremoniously opened to the public, marking a significant step towards a vibrant and sustainable future.
