CALBAYOG CITY – The
construction, rehabilitation, and improvement works, along the Carayman to Naga and Naga to Cogon road in Calbayog City, are at
87.67% and 65% actual physical accomplishment, respectively, as of
this report.
Naga and Cogon are
agricultural barangays mainly producing root crops such as cassava
and sweet potato. These products are then transported to Carayman
which lies adjacent to the National Highway and allows farmers
access to Calbayog City’s public market.
The two projects have a
combined cost of P80 million sourced out from the General
Appropriations Fund of 2018, both under contract with Victoria
Development and Construction Supply.
The first project, costing
P50 million, covers the rehabilitation and improvement of 4.5
kilometers of road connecting Brgy. Carayman and Brgy. Naga. The
second project connecting, with an allocation of P30 million;
includes the construction, rehabilitation, and improvement of 2.5
kilometers of concrete road between Brgy. Naga and Cogon.
These projects directly
benefit the root crop farmers of the aforementioned barangays as it
hastens travel time and allows for a speedier transport of
agricultural products.
