Provincial Agrarian Reform Program Officer II Abdullah N. Balindong said the farm-to-market road covers the Barangays Tual and Sinakulay roads. The FMR intends to bring considerable benefits to farmers in terms of shorter travel time, access to farm areas, reduction in transportation and hauling costs, and access to markets and other social services.

“This road project involves the concreting of a 1,500-meter road, transforming it from gravel to concrete, with a width of 3.05 meters per lane and a thickness of 0.23 meters. Additionally, Reinforced Concrete Pipe Culvert installations will be part of the construction,” Balindong said.

Joaquin Eslao, one of the ARBs, expressed his gratitude to the DAR for its continued support to small farmers like him.

“This road will benefit us, especially in transporting our produce to the market with ease. It will not only help us save time and effort but will also help us increase our income,” he said.
