From the Philippine News Agency (Mar 30): OPAPP allocates P25-M for Dumalinao-Pagadian City road project

The government has allocated P25 million for the construction of a 5-km road linking the municipality of Dumalinao and Pagadian City, officials said Saturday.

The project will be implemented through the PAmana at MAsaganang PamayaNAn (PAMANA) program of the Office of the Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process.

PAMANA Zamboanga-Basilan-Sulu-Tawi-Tawi (ZamBaSulTa) Coordinator Vicente Borgonia said the road project will link the barangays of Pantad and Rebokon in Dumalinao town to barangays of Bomba and Poloyagan in the city of Pagadian.

Dumalinao is a third class municipality in the province of Zamboanga del Sur while the Pagadian City is the province’ capital.

The road project that will traverse the coastal area, once completed, will provide fast and easy access to farmers in the four areas to transport their produce to the market, Borgonia said.

The travel time will be reduced to less than an hour compared to the present where it take couple of hours passing through the provincial road, he said.

It will also boost the delivery of basic government services in the four barangays, he added.
