P100M agro-eco tourism park soon to rise in Namabbalan Sur, Tuguegarao; jobs and tourism boost expected

Tuguegarao City, Cagayan – The City Government of Tuguegarao is planning to develop a P100-million agro-eco tourism park in Barangay Namabbalan Sur as part of its efforts to boost tourism and generate employment.

The project was recently discussed during a stakeholders’ consultation held on April 29, 2026.

Based on the proposed design, the tourism park will feature multiple zones, including a main pavilion, restaurants, cottages, and an adventure area with a zipline, as well as eco-hotel facilities.

In a Facebook post, Mayor Maila Ting-Que said the project is still in the planning stage and remains subject to further improvements and revisions.

The mayor also expressed appreciation for the continued support of stakeholders, emphasizing that participative governance is rooted in collaboration toward a shared goal.

“Salamat sa Suporta at tiwala…the proposed design was made by a private architect, which could still be improved and altered, nag offer na din nga ang mga iba pang lokal na

architects. This is what we call collaboration between the government and its people…this is the true meaning of participative governance, a shared responsibility for all,” Ting-Que said.

Meanwhile, the Cagayan Provincial Government announced that plans are underway to rebuild the Maddulo Kamu Arch. The project will also include additional facilities such as a tourist center, a police station, and a Kadiwa area for local farmers.

It can be recalled that the arch was removed by a Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) contractor between 2021 and 2022 to give way to a road-widening project.
