CALBAYOG CITY – The
longtime dream of the people in the Municipality of Matuguinao to be
connected to the growth centers of Samar and likewise to the
neighboring Province of Leyte is coming true with the appropriation of
the funds for the completion of the whole stretch of
Gandara-Matuguinao Road every year.
For CY 2014, the concreting
of 2,757 linear meter of road covering Brgys. Pizarro, Hiparayan and
Peñaplata all in Gandara, Samar has been funded P50 million. The said
road sections in three barangays can now offer convenient travel.
Though the total road
stretch to the Municipality of Matuguinao has not been fully concreted
yet, another project for 2015 with a total length of 2,384 linear
meters amounting to another P50 million is underway starting from Brgy,
Peñaplata to Brgy. Tawiran.
To render the road sections
fully operational, road sections of four barangays have yet to be
concreted which will continue to be funded by the District Office till
2017.
With this condition of the
road leaving only few kilometers of all-weather road, economic
activities in the area start to flourish.
