Last November 17, 2010 a team of investors and consultants from the Meadowland Developers Inc. specializing on extreme sports facilities and water system development assessed the entire municipality of Marabut for a zipline project that will be constructed within its tourism destinations.
According to Manuel Abesamis, his team will start as soon as possible the preparation of the feasibility study and the zipline project design and will coordinate with the local chief executive on its development.
The team headed by Manuel Abesamis, disclosed that there are three potential sites for zipline in the municipality and these are just located within the vicinity of the three prominent resorts, the Caluwayan Palm Island Resort in Brgy. Caluwayan, the Extreme Experience formerly the Marabut Marine Park in Brgy. Osmeña and the JED Beach Resort in Brgy. Amambucale.
Architect Antonio Orceo, the designer of zipline informed the group of Mayor Percival A. Ortillo, Jr. that with the presence of rock hills in the vicinity are already an advantage on the part of the investor hence high rise zipline stations are no longer needed.
According to Manuel Abesamis, his team will start as soon as possible the preparation of the feasibility study and the zipline project design and will coordinate with the local chief executive on its development.Seated: Manuel Abesamis (center), Mayor Ortillo, Jr. (second from left), Arch.
