From the Philippine Information Agency (Feb 4): Eastern Samar PAMANA coordinator bares new projects

Projects under the Payapa at Masaganang Pamayanan (PAMANA) program are ongoing in Eastern Samar.

According to Eastern Samar PAMANA coordinator Bryan Azura, approximately ₽ 95 M worth of PAMANA projects had come to Eastern Samar for the year 2013 and had been implemented by the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH).

Almost all of the projects under the said program are done, based on the report released by the DPWH- Eastern Samar District Engineering Office, that the improvement and road concreting of the 24.5 kilometer road in the Barangay Malabago, Dolores- Barangay Can-ilay, Can-avid road section, worth ₽ 27.7 M. the construction of this project had started on June 26, 2014 and was finished on October 15, 2015.

Another PAMANA Project that Azura had mentioned was the road concreting of the Maslog- Brgy, Carolina, Can-avid farm-to-market road and the construction of the Bigo Bridge worth ₽ 21.68 M. The construction of the said projects had been started on June 30, 2014 and was finished on October 31, 2015.

According to Azura, these projects  will greatly benefit the farmers since it will be much easier for them to bring their products to the market, resulting in a much-improved production.

There are other projects that are still ongoing, like Can-avid, Jipapad, and Maslog together with the ₽ 7 M- worth of project for the account industry program and the farm mechanization and the post-harvest program of the Department of Agriculture.
