Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) upgraded a 772-meter section of an existing local road at barangay San Pedro Palcarangan in Lubao, Pampanga.
The infrastructure connects the rural community to major markets benefitting residents who depend on farming as their source of income.
DPWH Pampanga 2nd District Engineer Gregorio Audea Jr. said San Pedro Palcarangan is an agricultural barangay that mainly produces rice.
“Other residents engage in backyard livestock farming and vegetable production,” he added.
It will not only allow easier transportation of agricultural products but also provide motorists with a better travel experience.
The P4.7-million project was funded under the 2022 General Appropriations Act. (CLJD-PIA 3)
