The Office of the Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process
(OPAPP) has constructed farm-to-market roads worth PHP56 million in northern Mindanao ’s conflict areas in 2015.
Lealyn Ramos, regional director of the Department
Agriculture (DA), said the program is carried out through OPAPP's “Payapa at
Masaganang Pamayanan” (PAMANA).
In 2015, PAMANA constructed farm-to-market roads (FMRs) in
the municipal towns of Bacolod
She said the DA is the only implementing agency of the OPAPP
through its peace-building program known as PAMANA.
The road construction project is only one of the OPAPP
projects.
Ramos said OPAPP identifies the possible towns and villages,
which could become the beneficiaries of the PAMANA program.
In 2016, DA-10 is expected to implement a total of PHP63
million worth of FMRs. This time, several villages in Bukidnon and Misamis
Oriental are the recipients of the projects, Ramos said.
PAMANA extends development interventions to inaccessible and
strife-torn communities in the region to make sure that development is not
denied in these areas.
A complementary track to peace negotiations, the program is
anchored on the Aquino administration’s strategy of winning the peace by
forging strategic partnerships with national agencies.
These national and regional agencies promote convergence,
deliver basic services and address regional development challenges in
conflict-affected and vulnerable areas.
