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 stretched Pangyan-Kalonbarak transit road was aimed at providing meager farmers with convenient all weathered road to access the delivery of farm produce from  upper valleys and other remote areas in the Southern part of town.

               

Dominguez said the project does not only aims to improve the transport system, but would invite more investors to expand the local economic growth of Malungon town, which is now being tagged as spearheader of progress and development in the entire province. 

            

“I hope this project, which is considered as one of the largest road projects in the municipality, would encourage more of our constituents to plant and invest in agriculture. 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 to be planted in Kolunbarak and not intoxicating liquor, to have something to yield and sell in the local market when the right time comes,” the governor said in a vernacular.

                

 Mayor Reynaldo F. Constantino said this  is just one among the string of FMR projects that were implemented through the efforts of the governor.

            

The latest construction and rehabilitation of roads include the rmot villages of Lutay-Dalmuan (graveling) in the north, Sitio Rancho-Kalonbarak P5M-worth road construction, rehabilitation of the provincial road in Brgy. Datal Batong, and the P7M-worth concreting and rehab project in Brgy. Malabod.  

   

“It is through such partnerships that we could be able to achieve the objective of the local government. And besides, I also believe that infrastructure development is a very essential support to our flagship program in agriculture,” said Constantino, who is a half-blooded Blaan.

               

Observers said the continuous flow of not only agriculture projects, but likewise in various aspects such education, health, infrastructure and maintenance on peace and order has brought the Constantino administration into its highest esteem, and would possibly trigger for an another landslide win on the latter’s bid for reelection in the forthcoming May polls.”

                

Vice Mayor Guilley, who is on his last term and now vying for reelection as councilor, said “as a Kaulo tribal leader, he is certain that what the governor has also done for the good of Malungon town shall remain a legacy to the wits of his people, even up to the future days to come.
