MALUNGON, Sarangani – Top provincial and municipal officials grace Thursday (April 14, 2013) the formal opening of a P14M-worth Department of Agriculture - MRDP road rehabilitation project in the municipality.   

                

Spearheaded by no less Sarangani Gov. Miguel Alcantara-Dominguez, the reopening of the 8-kilometer stretch Pangyan-Kalonbarak transit road was designed to provide farmers with an all weather road access for the delivery of farm produce from the southern part of town.

             

“I hope the project, which is one of the largest road projects in the municipality, would able to encourage our constituents to plant more. Hinaut pa nga unta ang musaka dinhi sa Kalonbarak mao katong mga similya para sa pananum ug dili mga binotelya sa makahubog nga ilimnun para naa na mo’y produkto nga mabaligya sa atong merkado publiko. (Hopefully, our farmers will now start hauling seeds for Kolunbarak and not intoxicating liquor. For them to have more products to sell in the local market during harvest time,” the governor said in a vernacular.

                
 Mayor Reynaldo F. Constantino said this  is just one among the FMR projects that were implemented through the efforts of the governor.
            
The latest construction and rehabilitation of roads include the remote villages of Lutay-Dalmuan (graveling) in the north, Sitio Rancho-Kalonbarak P5M-worth road repair, the rehabilitation of provincial road in Brgy. Datal Batong, and the P7M-worth concreting and rehab near the approach of Brgy. Malabod proper.  
   
“It is through such partnership that we could be able to achieve the primary objective of the local government in terms of progress and developmen,” said Constantino, who is a half-blooded Blaan. (Isagani Palma –MALUNGON INFORMATION OFFICE)
