The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) Nueva Ecija Locally Funded Project (LFP) Team, along with Cuyapo Municipal Engineer Bonifacio G. Felipe, inspected the project titled "Concreting of Farm-to-Market Road in Brgy. Bambanaba, Cuyapo, Nueva Ecija" under the FY 2021 Local Government Support Fund – Financial Assistance to Local Government Units (LGSF-FALGU) last Tuesday, June 7, 2022.

The aforementioned project, with an allocation of Ten Million Pesos (Php10,000,000.00), is at 97% completion rate. The concreting of the road is intended to benefit not only the residents of Brgy.
