Local officials and residents here laud the government for building infrastructure projects here through the "Payapa at Masaganang Pamayanan (PAMANA) Roads to Peace Project.
Talayan is one of the 36 municipalities of Maguindanao where
PAMANA Projects have been implemented to help bring about peace in the local
communities.
PAMANA projects aim to help communities devastated by armed
conflict to recover and move forward, according to PAMANA project coordinator
for the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao.
Anayatin said the project included a seven kilometer road
concreting project from Barangay Poblacion to Barangay Marader. The road was
both muddy and rocky making it difficult for farmers to bring agricultural
products to the town market.
With the completion of the project and its turnover to the
local government done, villagers from Talayan and adjacent town of Midtimbang
"Noong panahon na wala pa tayong proyekto na
dumarating, kahit bisikleta hindi makadaan (Before this project was realized,
even a bicycle could hardly trek this route)," Mayor Datu Nathaniel
Midtimbang of Midtimbang, Maguindanao, said.
"Farmers from Talayan and nearby towns now use this
concrete road in bringing their goods and agricultural products to the town
center," he added.
Chairman Tong Ismael of Barangay Tamar, Talayan, said the
project had increased economic activities in at least five adjoining barangays.
"We expect more projects like this in our communities," he added.
Anayapin said the road network was part of the 2014 Roads to
Peace Projects in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM).
Since 2014, about 34 projects have been implemented through
PAMANA road to peace projects in the ARMM. The region is composed of the
provinces of Maguindanao, Lanao del Sur, Basilan, Sulu and Tawi-Tawi.
