Maripipi Circumferential Road. This project is under the
implementation of Regional Office 8 with the amount of P135M funded
under 2016 General Appropriation Act (GAA). As of April, 2017, it has
an accomplishment of 21.08%. The project was started late due to late
completion of Preliminary & Detailed Engineering activities. The

barangay of the municipality.
Another project inspected by

the just started construction of 2-storey, 8-classroom School Building
at Maripipi National Vocational School, Maripipi, Biliran under
