With an allocation of P10 million, the concrete road with drainage component has reduced the travel time to the town proper of Hermosa.

Implemented under the Basic Infrastructure Program, the two road projects in Bataan were funded under the General Appropriations Act of 2023 (GAA).
The two road projects will improve food security and lessen poverty in the area.
