and local marine products and agricultural harvests from Barangay Buenavista bound for Surigao City
and other neighboring Barangays/municipality and vice versa;
WHEREAS, in December 16, 2022 the port/wharf was hit by severe typhoon Odette marking a
significant damage by 100 percent, give hardship to the majority of the people usually depends on
marine resource being living in a coastal barangay;
WHEREAS, the absence of such facility is also a big problem of the National Power Corporation
(NAPOCOR) whose power plant is stationed at Barangay Buenavista, generating power through a
generator set of engines using crude oil to supply the nine (9) Barangays of Hikdop Island, thus
delivery of crude oil by hundred of barrels and other heavy accessory equipments is very hard and
risky;
WHEREAS, Barangay Buenavista through the new composition the Council identified a new site
suitable for the proposed project since the new location as identified will not be directly hit by the
northwest moonson (HABAGAT) which we considered the most damaging course of wind;
