CATBALOGAN CITY – Undersecretary Jaime Pacanan of the Department of
Public Works and Highways (DPWH) inspected and graced the opening of
the newly rehabilitated Old National Road Motiong, Samar on June 19.
According to Motiong Mayor Francis Langi the first phase of the
project is worth P11 M but an additional P9.6 M will be poured in to
complete the rehabilitation of the road.
The old road serviced Daang Maharlika in the past, before the
construction of the diversion road, such that it suffered the usual
wear and tear.
Pacanan in his talk to his hometown folks said that some P17 M is also
allotted to a flood control project which Municipal Engineer Dindo
Conge called the Baywatch Project.
Old roads in the towns of Hinabangan and Paranas have been completed,
Pacanan added, so that he also has to ensure that his hometown Motiong
will have the same rehabilitation project for the old road.
On June 19, Motiong folks led by Mayor Langi, DPWH Samar Second
Engineering District Officials Ruben de los Reyes, Construction Chief
Nestor Mate and other Motiong folks witnessed the ribbon cutting of
their ‘paisano’ USec Pacanan. (with report from
