Tacloban City—The Department of Public Works and Highways has started the construction of the P50 million worth farm-to-market road projects in various villages in central Leyte.
Of the nine FMR road projects, seven are ongoing and two have yet to start, Gerald Pacanan, Public Works Leyte 2nd district office chief said.
Among the ongoing projects are in Cabariwan village in Dagami town; Hibunawon and Sagcahan both in Jaro town; and roads linking Lima to Socsocon, Arabunog to Cancaraja, and Manabanay to Sapsap in Pastrana town.
The construction of these projects started in the last week of September and early October this year. The target completion is early next year.
“These projects are expected to help increase agricultural productivity in the area and provide residents better access to basic social services such as health and education,” Pacanan said.
He said this development will benefit all commuters by providing them smooth and convenient transport from farming communities to commercial centers.
