Builders gear to construct 5 footbridges in upland villages

Emergency pathways – Local gov’t Engr. Rodrigo Palec confirmed Monday (April 13) the upcoming construction of five (5) hanging bridges to replace and supplement the three others that were washed-out by rampaging waters caused by heavy rain and flash floods. He said the LGU, in collaboration with DA-12 and the Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) is up for the implementation of more or less P1.5million-worth project that will be divided for Barangays Ampon, Malalag Cogon, San Juan, Panamin, and Poblacion in Malungon town. He said purposely, this will provide inland communities with safer access in time of catastrophe and or other unforeseen emergencies.
