CATBALOGAN CITY, Samar, May 1 (PIA) -- The repair of the 34.121-kilometer access road to Samar’s poorest town is now in the works. | |||
This was learned from the Emy Bonifacio, Program Development Officer of the Office of the Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process –Payapa at Masaganag Pamayanan (OPAPP-PAMANA) in an interview yesterday. | |||
San Jose de Buan is a hinterland town, and in 2003 was ranked one of the poorest in the region with a poverty incidence of 82 percent. It is accessible by road and is 74 kilometers from the capital city of Catbalogan. About 34.121 kilometers of the total road length is poorly maintained and in a very sad state where time travel by bus runs from five to six hours. | |||
OPAPP then invited provincial heads, national government agencies, local government unit (LGU) officials, and the civil society, which recommended projects of this nature. | |||
Even the provincial government under Gov Sharee Ann Tan has placed the road project as priority and Tan committed around P30 million for this road project. | |||
PAMANA and LGU proponents express hopes that the concreting of this road will eventually improve the delivery of government services like agriculture, health, education, information to the rural folks, and this will also encourage the farmers to produce more. | |||
The military also hopes that an improved peace and order situation will be brought about by the better road link to the main highway. (PIA 8-Samar) | |||
