GENERAL SANTOS CITY (MindaNews/06 April) — The provincial government of South Cotabato is pushing for the inclusion of eight priority farm-to-market road projects worth around P455 million into the national government’s flagship rural development initiative Philippine Rural Development Program (PRDP).

South Cotabato Gov. Daisy Avance-Fuentes said Monday they are currently processing the enrolment of the road projects under the Intensified Building-Up of Infrastructure and Logistics for Development or I-BUILD component of the PRDP, which is supported by the World Bank.

She said the road projects will cover various prime agricultural production areas in the municipalities of Banga, Tampakan, Tupi and T’boli.

“These are high-impact road projects that are seen to further boost our agriculture and agri-industrial sectors,” the governor said.

The proposed projects are the concreting of the Cataan-Lamtabongbong and Sagrada roads in Banga town; Maltana-Lampitak provincial road, San Isidro-Junction Lambayong road and the Liberty-Palo road in Tampakan; Lote North–Miasong and the Kipalbig-Maltana roads in Tupi; and, Datal Dlanag-Tudok road in T’boli.
