Philippine DPWH shows off progress of the Pangasinan road under the Duterte administration
Manila - The Daang Katutubo access road of Pangasinan is only 64 percent complete, but it is now breathtaking.
The Department of Public Works and Highways shared different photographs of the project to media on Sunday, February 7, to show the progress of the construction of the road. Apparently, it is somewhat a long winding road that is being built on top of the hills of the province of Pangasinan.
DPWH secretary Mike Villar said the road which leads to Mapita community and view deck to Nayong Aguilar in Aguilar, Pangasinan, is expected to provide a much better and faster access of the indigenous communities and other minorities to social services both private and public.
It will definitely benefit the Kankanaey, Bago and Ibaloi tribes in Barangay Mapita.
" This road improvement will give boost to the growth of tourism, provide economic opportunities and will allow indigenous people to have better access to basic social services available in more urbanized areas." Villar said.
Villar also reiterated that once the project is completed, it will definitely reduce the travel time from the Aguilar proper of Pangasinan to different communities from 1 hour to 30 minutes.
