The Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao has signed an agreement with the Army on the implementation of a road project in Sampinit Complex, a former Abu Sayyaf lair in Basilan.
ARMM Regional Gov. Mujiv Hataman and Brig. Gen. Arnold Fernandez, chief of the 54th Engineering Brigade, led the MOA signing of for a road project worth around P200 million, with ARMM Public Works Secretary Don Mutapha Loong and Basilan Gov. Jim Hataman-Saliman.
The signing was done at Camp Arnaldo Fernandez in Zamboanga City.
Lt. Gen. Glorioso Miranda, Philippine Army commanding general, also witnessed the MOA signing and assured Gov. Hataman and Western Mindanao Command chief Maj. Gen. Carlito Galvez Jr., that the Army will send personnel to ensure construction will not be disrupted by armed groups like the Abu Sayyaf.
Hataman entered into a MOA with the 54th Engineering Brigade after two failed rounds of public bidding for the project.
The project is located in the Transcentral Road of Basilan, which covers the high-risk and conflict-affected portions of Maluso, Sumisip, and Isabela City.
Hataman said the road project is considered the last frontier for roads in Basilan since the Basilan Circumferential Road has been completed.
The TRB road project includes the concreting of 3.5 kilometers covering the border of Sampinit and Isabela City with (P82.2 million) and the Upper Mahajie-Sampinit Road in Sumisip town (P117.5 million).
