THE residents and farmers of Sitio Muruk, Barangay Pasonanca, Zamboanga City, who face challenges accessing essential services, now have safer and more efficient transportation access.This, as the Department of Public Works and Highways has implemented a P12 million farm-to-market-road concreting in Sitio Muruk, Barangay Pasonanca. The regional office of the DPWH said the newly concreted road spans 154 lane meters, providing residents and motorists with safer and more efficient transportation.
Before the completion of the project, residents in Sitio Muruk faced challenges accessing essential services, particularly during the rainy season when the unpaved road would become dangerously slippery, the DPWH said. Farmers, who rely heavily on agriculture as their main livelihood, struggled to transport their agricultural goods to larger markets due to the poor condition of the road.
