COTABATO CITY, Aug. 9 (PNA) -- Officials of the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) have launched PhP 220-million worth of road projects that would connect municipalities to major commercial centers in Lanao del Sur and Bukidnon.

ARMM Gov. Mujiv Hataman and Lanao del Sur Gov. Mamintal Adiong Jr. signed on Saturday a memorandum of agreement for the implementation of the project -- a road concreting that will connect the towns of Kapai and Tagoloan, Lanao del Sur.

Also present was Engr. Don Mustapha Loong, regional secretary for the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH-ARMM).

Lanao del Sur is a component province of ARMM along with the provinces of Maguindanao, Lanao del Sur, Basilan, Sulu and Tawi-Tawi. Bukidnon, on the other hand, is part of Administration Region 10.

Both Hataman and Loong urged the residents to help monitor the project implementation, as practiced in the region, to allow transparency and accountability in project implementation.

The new road network will interconnect Marawi City to nearby towns in Bukidnon and the rest of Region 10.

Loong said more projects are already in the pipeline for implementation with funds to be taken from the PhP 1.4 billion infrastructure budget for 2015.

Present during the launching were officials from Lanao del Sur and the local government units that stand to benefit from the project.
