Two newly funded Farm-to-Market Road (FMR) projects in the Municipality of Maria Aurora are now on-going under the FY 2024 Seal of Good Local Governance – Support to Barangay Development Program (SBDP), following an inspection conducted on December 19, 2025.
The inspection was led by the Provincial Project Monitoring Team (PPMT) composed of Engr. III Kenny Jean Iniwan, Engr. II Ginalyn Sumait, and ADAS II Ricah Joy Serafines, in coordination with personnel from the LGU Maria Aurora Municipal Engineering Office, namely Engr. Christopher De Villa, Engr. Marvin S. Baysa, Engr. Daniel Barcenas, and Czekinah Ellamar.
Among the projects inspected were the Barangay Florida Farm-to-Market Road and the Barangay Debucao Farm-to-Market Road, both funded under the FY 2024 SBDP with a project cost of ₱5 million each. At the time of inspection, both projects had already started and were in the mobilization stage, signifying the beginning of construction activities that aim to improve access for farmers and residents in the barangays.
Also included in the inspection was the Barangay Diome Farm-to-Market Road, likewise funded under the FY 2024 SBDP, which has already reached 79% completion and is expected to benefit 45 farmers by providing safer and more efficient transport of agricultural products.
In addition, the Barangay Bagtu Health Station, another FY 2024 SBDP-funded project, is now 61% completed and is expected to serve 864 residents by improving access to basic health services once fully completed.
During the inspection, the PPMT discussed the status of each project and communicated minimal concerns to the implementing teams to ensure that all projects strictly follow required standards and technical specifications.
The FY 2024 SBDP projects in Maria Aurora reflect the government’s continued commitment to improving farm access, strengthening basic services, and supporting sustainable development in the barangays.
