The Samar Governors' unity is paving the way for a more connected and efficient transportation system on the island, as Governors Sharee Ann Tan and Edwin Ongchuan spearhead efforts to complete key road projects.
A coordination meeting was conducted by the two governors at the Northwest Samar State University in Calbayog City to discuss the progress and future of major road projects.
Key projects were discussed during the meeting, focusing on addressing the issue of insurgency and promoting economic development in the region.
The meeting also served as a platform for the provincial government to discuss issues with development partners, with a focus on project funding and development impact. Provincial governments of Samar are still in need of further support to complete key projects and develop an extensive and efficient road network.
The completion of the projects is crucial in propelling the region forward, and the provincial governments are committed to pushing for its completion.
Governor Ongchuan expressed his gratitude to the national government for their ongoing support for peace initiatives and infrastructure development in the region.
Despite significant strides made in infrastructure development, the need for further support remains urgent to meet the need for a comprehensive road network.
The projects will also contribute to reducing insurgency and promoting peace in the region, according to Governor Ongchuan.
The nearly completed Catumsan-Jipapad-Las Navas-Catubig-Rawis Road, at 72 percent completion, is expected to improve access to basic health care, education, and other basic services for remote communities.
The completion of the E. Duran to Macatingog (Bobon) Road in Northern Samar is also crucial in promoting economic growth and development in the region.
Governor Ongchuan stressed that the Silvino Lubos-Matuguinao Road is vital in opening essential trade routes and promoting peace in the region.
The project is expected to curb insurgent movements and improve the quality of life of Samarnons.
A vital trade route for connecting remote communities across Samar's provinces, the Silvino Lubos-Matuguinao Road will improve access to basic services and promote economic growth.
