The landing point of the SIDC project, also known as the Davao City-Samal Bridge, is situated on the coast of Costa Marina Beach Resort, which is adjacent to Paradise Island Park & Beach Resort in Barangay Caliclic, Babak District of the Island Garden City of Samal. He maintained that it is the “safest and most feasible alignment” compared with the other alignments previously explored.

The state-owned China Road and Bridge Corporation has been selected as the contractor for the project. “The resort owners Rodriguez-Lucas Family supports the SIDC Project. But they have called for its realignment and in fact have offered to donate to DPWH its Lumos beach property as an alternative landing site in Samal Island to save the Paradise Reef, which the family has preserved for almost a century,” the Rodriguez family said in a statement released on Wednesday.

Contrary to DPWH’s claim that the Samal landing site is outside a protected area, the entire Samal Island remains a protected area, according to the family.
