Farming communities now benefit from a paved access road completed by the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) in the municipality of Titay, Zamboanga Sibugay.
DPWH Region 9 Director Cayamombao Dia identified the project as the concrete paving of a 2-lane, 2.5-kilometer road which now better connects the far-flung Barangay Dalangin to the national road.
“The concrete road now allows local rubber and rice farmers to quickly and safely transport their agricultural products to bigger markets at a lower cost.”
