Thousands of villagers in the towns of Guinobatan, Oas, Polangui, and the City of Ligao, all in Albay province, are set to benefit from P866 million worth of infrastructure projects set to start construction this April.
Albay 3rd District Rep. Fernando Cabredo commended President Marcos for prioritizing the implementation of the projects along the Maharlika Highway road sections that will provide convenience to the public in going to and from various destinations, not only within the province and region but also in Visayas and Mindanao.
Cabredo said the P866 million would fund a total of 15 projects under the Department of Public Works and Highways.
“The projects are focused on the Maharlika Highway. These are 15 projects with rehabilitation, reconstruction, upgrading of damaged paved roads, road widening, preventive maintenance, off-carriageway and intersection improvements. There is a lot to be done and we can see that when these are finished, going to and from Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao would be much easier,” he added.
