NAVAL, Biliran –
The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Biliran District
Engineering Office (DEO) has completed the Farm-Market Road (FMR)
project in Brgy. Kaulangohan going to Brgy. Kawayanon in the town of
Caibiran in the Province of Biliran.
The project is under the
convergence program of DPWH and the Department of Agriculture (DA)
with a length of 500 meters and a width of 5 meters amounting to
P5M.
According to David P.
Adongay Jr., District Engineer, there is still 400-meter length that
needs to be concrete-paved to fully connect the two villages of the
said barangay.
The completed FMR project
will at least lessen the hilly and bumpy travel of the residents and
farmers in transporting their goods to the market center.
Adongay said this project
is prioritized due to the potential of the place to produce
agricultural crops such as rice, abaca, and copra.
“FMR projects open
opportunities for our farmers to increase their agricultural
productivity as well as their income”, Adongay added.
More or less 2000
residents and farmers will benefit the newly completed road.
