Speedy, convenient and safe travel is now experienced by farmers of Barangay Butong, Quezon, Bukidnon with the recently-completed farm-to-market (FMR) by the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH).
Public Works and Highways Secretary Mark A. Villar announced the completion of the P12.9-million FMR project which covers the concrete paving of the 654-meter local road with 1.5-meter shoulder both sides, reflectorized thermoplastic pavement markings, removal and installation of cross drainage with pipe end structures, removal and construction of grouted riprap line canal drainages and removal of obstructing trees.
“Concrete road will surely improve product delivery of Barangay Butong farmers and hopefully, will double their income with lower transportation cost,” said Secretary Villar.
“FMRs are being constructed by DPWH in coordination with the Department of Agriculture to further promote inclusive growth by developing infrastructure that improves the living condition and livelihood of our farmers especially in far-flung areas,” added Secretary Villar.
