DILG Zambales, headed by Provincial Director Martin Porres B. Moral CESO V proudly presents the road project entitled “Local road Upgrading from Brgy. Santiago to Taugtog, Botolan Zambales" as the province’ Monthly Featured Project for the month of June 2022 under the Locally Funded Projects (LFP).
The newly upgraded local road which was named “Makirkir Road”, serves as the passageway of the residents from Barangay Santiago to Barangay Taugtog (vice versa) to reach the town proper to access schools and the public market.
One of the main irrigation streams of the barangay can be found on the side of Makirkir road, which plays a huge role in the land preparation, cultivation up to harvesting and distribution of agricultural products. Farmers who can easily access markets due to better road pathway are more likely to increase their income.
Aside from development, this innovation also helped the daily lives of the students, employees and the passersby alike. Transportation is made easier and faster, where access to education, employment, social and other public services are no longer a problem. With this, more opportunity will open and eventually pave the way to the community’s success.
The Php 8,257,000.00 worth of concrete road project which stretch up to 862 meters brings hope to more than 1,500 residents of Barangay Taugtog and is now a huge part in everyone's story in improving their lives and achieving their dreams. These changes stimulate economic responses in terms of trade, transport use and thus, shape the ultimate development outcomes in the municipality.
The Local Government Support Fund - Assistance to Municipalities (LGSF-AM) funded this project by providing financial subsidies to municipalities for the implementation of their priority programs and projects.

The activity primarily aimed to provide a comprehensive discussion of the SDG FACEs project with the beneficiaries, carry-out workshop that would identify their development needs for intervention, and secure their commitment to support the project.

An orientation of the SDG FACEs program by Municipal Local Government Operations Officer Shieralyn B. Esteban was followed by a workshop facilitated by the LGU functionaries. The exercise revealed that the most pressing issues being faced by the families are lack of livelihood, insufficient rice supply and lack of potable water source.
In response, OIC - MSWDO Isagani Ecle, Municipal Agriculturist Ramon Dolojan and Municipal Planning and Development Coordinator Melanie Baysa shared the projects, programs and activities of the LGU and the national government that are in the pipeline and may be accessed and provided to the concerned families to resolve their needs.

Further, in the commitment setting, MLGOO Esteban explained that apart from being beneficiaries, the families shall serve as dynamic partners of the national and local government in responding to the challenges of the SDGs in uplifting the principle that no one gets left behind, and that the family’s role to eradicate poverty in all its forms, end discrimination and exclusion, and reduce the inequalities and vulnerabilities is essential to promote the way of life of their children.
In his message, Barangay Kagawad William Dumlao expressed their barangay’s gratitude before the functionaries for selecting Barangay Cabatuan as the pilot barangay beneficiary for SDG FACEs project. “Nakikiusap din po ako sa mga kabarangay na magtulungan po tayo. Kung kailangan po ay ibigay rin po natin agad ang mga kakailanganing impormasyon ng munisipyo para agarang maisagawa ang mga programa,” he added.
