MANILA, Philippines - More than P1 million worth of farm-to-market roads in Ambaguio town in Nueva Vizcaya will be repaired to help hasten transport of agricultural products.
The Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) said it would help rehabilitate the roads as provided under an agreement it signed with the municipal government of Ambaguio.
DAR–Cagayan regional director Marjorie Ayson said the agency would shoulder P1 million of the total rehabilitation cost while the municipal government would shoulder the remaining P112,000 and other expenses.
Ayson said the project includes the improvement of Poblacion-Ammoweng-Nappo farm-to-market-road, which is expected to bring economic benefits to the municipality.
“This road will bring development in the far-flung areas of Ambaguio and benefits to our farmers,” she said.
