'''Access road benefits upland farmers in Nueva Ecija'''<br>

CITY OF SAN FERNANDO, Pampanga – Upland farmers in Carranglan town in Nueva Ecija can now easily transport their products from their agroforestry farm to the nearest market through the newly opened seven-kilometer access road. Paquito Moreno Jr., executive director of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) in Central Luzon, said on Thursday the PHP58-million worth access road was funded by the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) as an “agroforestry support facility” under the 10-year Forestland Management Project (FMP) in the 44,000-hectare Pantabangan-Carranglan Watershed (PCW). Moreno said the new Dilaing Bato-Calo Mambeja access road that connects the villages of R.A. Padilla and Bunga will boost the livelihood of some 1,400 families, including the farmers.
