KAPALONG, Davao del Norte - President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo led today the groundbreaking ceremony of the P1.5-billion Kapalong-Talaingod-Valencia City-Bukidnon road, a major component of the government’s “infrastructure surge” program this year.
Under the “infrastructure surge” program, 3,000 kilometers of roads will be constructed all over the country this year alone under a P200-billion spending program.
The 58-kilometer road project here merited a special mention by the President in her State-of-the-Nation Address (SONA) last July as an important component of her administration’s overall efforts to develop Mindanao, reduce poverty and hunger and attract investments into the region.. . .
