BAYOMBONG, Nueva Vizcaya, Aug. 29 (PIA) - Officials and members of a peace and order body here have asked President Rodrigo Roa Duterte to consider the funding of a Farm-to-Market Road (FMR) in the upland town of Ambaguio to uplift its socio-economic and agri-tourism potentials.
Governor Carlos Padilla said they have recommended the continuation of the ongoing road project from barangay Camandag in Asipulo, Ifugao to barangay Camandag in Ambaguio town to bring in more progress and development among the villagers.
"This was recommended through the Office of Presidential Affairs on the Peace Process (OPAPP) in the hope that it can get the necessary funding priority considering its impact to our convergence program to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (ELCAC)," he said.
Padilla also said other proposed major infrastructure projects for Ambaguio town also need funding through the assistance of President Duterte.
Jason Fajardo, DILG's Local Government Operations Officer bared that hanging and footbridges, tramlines, electrification, Farm-to-Market Roads and water systems, among others have been listed by barangays Dulli, Amweg, Camandag and Napo as major priority projects for the villagers.
These were also recommended for funding through the Office of the Presidential Affairs on the Peace Process (OPAPP).
"These projects were contained in various barangay and municipal resolutions through the Barangay and Municipal ELCAC of Ambaguio," Fajardo said.
The recommendation for the proposed infrastructure projects was approved during the third quarter joint meeting of the Provincial Peace and Order Council (PPOC), Provincial Anti-Drug Abuse Council (PADAC) and Provincial Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (PTF-ELCAC) at the Pasalubong Center.
The PTF-ELCAC has identified barangays Camandag, Dulli, Ammoeg and Napo in Ambaguio town as hotspots for Communist Terrorist Groups (CTGs), preying on upland villagers to gain their mass support.
Through the ELCAC Convergence Program national as well as local government units concerned are expected to pour in their Programs, Projects and Activities (PPAs) to bring in various livelihood projects, job opportunities and other basic social services on health and social welfare, among others.(MDCT/BME/PIA 2-Nueva Vizcaya)
