LGSF Utilization Status
Farmers and residents of Barangay Carmen, Zaragoza, Nueva Ecija can now enjoy improved road access with the completion and inauguration of the newly-paved 150-meter Farm-to-Market Road (FMR) held on October 13, 2025.
The project was made possible through the FY 2024 Seal of Good Local Governance Incentive Fund (SGLGIF) — an incentive program of the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) that supports priority projects of local government units (LGUs) that have earned the Seal of Good Local Governance (SGLG).
The newly-concreted road is expected to benefit not only the 3,623 residents of Barangay Carmen but also students, workers, and other commuters from nearby barangays. For the local farmers, the FMR provides a vital boost to productivity by offering safer and more efficient transport of agricultural produce from their farms to the market.
Leading the inauguration were Hon. Mayor Lovella DG. Belmonte-Espiritu, DILG Region III Regional Director Araceli A. San Jose, CESO III, and DILG Nueva Ecija Provincial Director Atty. Ofelio A. Tactac, Jr., CESO V.
