The province of Northern Samar will receive P184 million from the Office of the Presidential Adviser on the Peace process (OPAPP) for Payapa at Masaganang Pamayanan (Pamana) projects in 2013. This was learned from the Provincial Information Office. Among the projects are: 2013 Pamana Pillar 3 (Addressing Regional Development) for concreting of the Mondragon-Silvino Lubos road section worth P100 million; and construction and improvement of Silvino Lubos-Lope de Vega road measuring 12 kilometers with a cost of P84 million, said OPAPP Assistant Secretary Howard Cafugauanm, in a letter early this month to Governor Paul Daza. These projects came out as a result of a “multi-stakeholders workshop” dubbed Mainstreaming Peace and Development in Local Governance Planning held March 21 to 22, 2012 at Calbayog City. Other projects include 2013 Pamana Pillar 2 (Establishing Resilient Communities), where at total of P35.1-million Peace and Development Fund will be allocated to 117 Barangays from 4 municipalities of the province. Each barangay will receive P300,000. The projects will be implemented through the Department of Social Welfare and Development and Kapit-Bisig Laban sa Kahirapan Integrated Delivery of Social Services (Kalahi-CIDSS-Pamana). The four municipalities (and the number of barangays under them) that will be allotted funds are Las Navas (53), Lope de Vega (22), San Roque (16) and Silvino Lubos (26). Last September 19, 2012, the first Pamana road project in Northern Samar was inaugurated.
