SAN JOSE DE BUAN, Western Samar – President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo today ordered Western Samar Gov.
Milagros Tan to immediately implement the road pavement project on the Lokiloan-San Jose De Buan provincial
road.
Western Samar Rep. Sharee Ann Tan will release P5 million from her congressional fund for the project.
San Jose de Buan Mayor Melania Rebato said paving the 38.5 kilometer provincial dirt road, which takes almost
four hours to travel by land using either 4X4 vehicles or trucks, will bring investors to the fifth-class mountain
municipality rich in natural resources.
Braving the stormy rains, the President was here to inaugurate several Kalayaan Barangay Program (KBP)
projects consisting of two units of two-classroom schoolbuildings, two healthcare centers, and the barangay
street lighting system.
The KBP projects here, with the total cost of P4.7 million, were funded by the President’s Social Fund.
Started in August 2009, the projects were completed last November by the 53rd Infantry Battalion of the
Philippine Army.
The President also inaugurated the new Municipal Executive Building, a two-storey structure funded by the local
government unit (LGU) and implemented in two phases. Phase I was started in August 2007, and Phase II in
June 2009. Total project cost was P1.5 million.
