Gov't greenlights ₱2 B agriculture roads, bridges
Manila Bulletin
|July 7, 2026
More than 60 kilometers (km) of farm-to-market roads (FMRs) and bridges with total funding of ₱2.06 billion have received clearance from the Department of Agriculture (DA), kickstarting the development of much-needed infrastructure to boost food productivity.
Agriculture Secretary Francisco Tiu Laurel said he has awarded No Objection Letter 1 (NOL1) to several FMR infrastructure projects under the Philippine Rural Development Program (PRDP) Scale-Up for implementation.
With NOL1, the local government units (LGUs) that proposed each project can now proceed with the procurement stage, paving the way for the start of construction.
The approved projects cover around 66 km of roads and 310 linear meters of bridges in agricultural-producing provinces such as Zambales, Oriental Mindoro, Masbate, Samar, Bukidnon, and North Cotabato.
