Pilar-Dagohoy road concreting starts
By June Blanco
Rep. Erico Aristotle Aumentado of the Second District on Thursday, May 6, 2021, led officials of the 2nd District Engineering Office (DEO) of the Department of Public Works Highways (DPWH) and of the local government units (LGUs) of Pilar and Dagohoy towns in breaking ground for the P140-million road concreting project.
Aumentado said the project will bring progress to the hinterlands and allow better access to farmers and their families in bringing their produce to the market as well as bringing farm inputs to their respective farms.
The solon has often stressed that only when the flow of commerce is unimpeded can people enjoy progress.
The future road runs from barangay Bagumbayan in Pilar to barangay Caluasan via barangay San Miguel in Dagohoy. The future road will provide a shorter route between the two towns and improve the road network in the northeastern side of Bohol.
The future road will provide easy access to the Malinao Dam in Pilar that serves large tracts of ricefields and farmlands. The future road will allow quick, safe and convenient transport of goods that will significantly contribute to the economic growth of the localities involved, Aumentado said.
Aumentado expressed gratitude to President Rodrigo Roa Duterte, Public Works Secretary Mark Villar and the DPWH family for the infrastructure input that he expects will help improve the economic condition of the second district.
