The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) has started work on integrated Mindanao road projects that can reduce transport costs by some 10 percent.
DPWH Secretary Rogelio Singson said these road projects,  worth some P3 billion, are multi-modal and sustainable and can boost business, trade and tourism.
“Southern Mindanao is fast becoming the center for agro-industrial business, trade and tourism. Its products, bananas, pineapples, fresh asparagus, and fish products are now being exported abroad. These road improvement projects are necessary to transport these agri-products from the production areas to the centers of commerce and trade,” Singson said.
Under the World Bank-assisted National Roads Improvement and Management Program Phase II, the DPWH is now implementing:
improvement of the 31.476-kilometer (km) Malita-Don Marcelino section of the Malalag-Malita-J.A. Santos road costing P549.57 million
53.10-km Digos-Kidapawan road section costing P623.610 million
50-km Kidapawan-Pagalungan road section costing P379.1 million;
58.22-km Pagalungan-Junction Cotabato road section costing P977.493 milion
the project on landslide risk mitigation along Digos-Gen. Santos City road and Davao-Calinan-Buda road costing P512.246 million.
The landslide risk mitigation project includes slope protection works in 34 sites along Digos-General Santos City and four sites along Davao-Calinan-Buda road section to address the problem of landslides and road settlements.
Remedial works on these damaged roads will ensure continuous accessibility between Digos City and General Santos City, and, Davao City and its neighboring provinces of Bukidnon, Misamis Oriental and other provinces. - VVP, GMA News
