Tanudan begins construction of Poray-Guimma Pangol Farm-to-Market Road

Tanudan, Kalinga – There will be no more hindrance in the transportation of agricultural products in Sitio Poray – Guimma in Pangol when the construction of its Farm-to-Market Road is completed, providing constituents a hundred percent all weather route.

John Ryan Awingan, Executive Assistant to Mayor Jaedicke Rhoss Dagadag, informed that the project began construction on August 5 with the allocation of P11,774,196.28 funding.

He said that the FMR was given funding after the Municipal Local Government Unit of Tanudan, through the initiative of Mayor Dagadag, submitted a resolution to the Department of Agriculture- central office.

Awingan added that Congressman Allen Jesse Mangaoang also gave priority to the funding of the project after the resolution was submitted.

“420 meters iti kaatiddug na daytoy concreting ta isu umanayan dayta pondo. Ngem ni contractor ket nag-widening pay ti mga 500 meters inggana idiay baba nga ayan ti balbalay. Daytoy ket inlibre na para kadagiti constituents a nag-request,” Awingan mentioned.

With the construction of the FMR in Poray to Guimma, the constituents in the area who have agricultural products such as rice, coffee, and fruits will be able to bring their produce to the market without hassle, even if it is raining.

Mayor Jaedicke Rhoss Dagadag informed that as a 4th class municipality, Tanudan’s Internal Revenue Allotment is limited, the reason why there is a need to source out funding from the national government.

“Haan nga uman-anay ti pondo mi a mang-pondo kadagita a projects. Isu nga agpasalamat tayo ta naaprobaran. Agpaspasalamat tayo met lang ken Congressman Allen Jesse Mangaoang ta ipapati na latta nga idawdawatan ti pondo dagitoy a resolutions tayo ditoy Tanudan,” Dagadag said.

The implementing agency of the construction of Sitio Poray to Guimma Farm-to-Market Road is the Department of Public Works and Highways – Lower Kalinga District Engineering Office.
