After only 1 and a half years in office, the administration of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. has already completed 51 percent of the target 131,410.66 kilometers of the government’s Farm-to-Market Road Network Program within six years.
“I am happy to share a significant update sa ating Farm-to-Market Road Network program. Ang ating dapat na maging target is 131,410.66 kilometers sa anim na taon, maaari ko nang mai-report na 51 percent of that nabuo na natin,” President Marcos said in a short video message.
Of the target, President Marcos said that the government has already built 67,328.92 kilometers, which is 32 times of road trips from Aparri to Jolo.
“It is a testament to the magnitude of accomplishment of the government. It is not an initiative only to do with agriculture, it is a connection between all the different communities but of course its main purpose is to connect the markets and the producers— sa ating mga agricultural sectors lalo,” he added.
The President assured the Filipino people that the administration will continue working until the completion of the target 131,410.66 kilometers before the end of the administration and will continue to “Build, Better, More.” |PND*
