CEBU CITY, June 15 (PNA) -- The Cebu provincial government has spent some PHP270 million for infrastructure development projects.

Data from the Cebu Provincial Information Office showed that the bulk of the amount went to road improvement and repairs.

The Cebu Capitol shelled out a total of PHP93 million in 2014 while another PHP113 million this year for the improvement of provincial and farm-to-market roads.

Among the road projects is the PHP19-million Sangi-Bugho provincial road concreting in San Fernando town which is now 80 percent complete and is projected to be finished by July or August this year, the information office reported.

The concreting of the road connecting San Fernando and Pinamungajan towns is reportedly seen to cut the travel time to just 45 minutes from two hours going to and from these two towns via Toledo City or Carcar City.

Another road project that is set to start is the PHP3 million Malapascua Island circumferential road.

The road projects implemented this year include the farm-to-market roads in Tudela and Tuburan worth PHP15 million each, vegetable highways worth PHP14.6-million, concreting of Bunlan-Camalig-Cabotunga road in Santander worth PHP7 million, Tuburan-Cogon-Alegria Marmol road worth PHP26 million, Nipa-Cayaan road in Tabogon worth PHP13.4 million and Cogon-Cantumog-Corte road section in Carmen worth PHP25.49 million, among others.

The province has a PHP3-billion budget this year, up from the PHP2.5-billion budget last year.
