The Uyugan Times

In the past decade or so, Batanes has consistently topped the list in quality of life index, but to keep this quality of life, we must be prepared to meet today's challenges.

Prosperity depends on good economic management, and good economic management includes making sure that we have the right kind of infrastructure in the right places at the right time and at an affordable cost.

Infrastructure is fundamental to our quality of life, but it's not an end in itself. Infrastructure is a means to provide people and businesses with the services they need.
____________________________________________________________________________________

____________________________________________________________________________________

It consists of the roads, airports and ports that enable us to trade and to transport and to travel, the pipes and wires that bring us water, electricity, telephone and cable TV services, the schools, hospitals and other buildings that provide education, health and government services; and all of the equipment associated with these services. From highways to hospitals, the people use infrastructure every day.

These networks, buildings and equipment are capital assets, and they generate service over a relatively long period of time. Infrastructure is provided by government, utilities or non-profit organizations as an essential part of delivering their services.

Almost all of the province's infrastructure is owned by the national government.

The province and the municipalities and the utilities or non-profit organizations owned the remainder.

The province and the municipalities has provided some funding to help build the assets in the health, education and municipal services.
