TACLOBAN CITY- An P11.09 million bridge linking remote barangays of Burauen here in Leyte is now open, making transport of people and goods easier.
This was disclosed by Governor Leopoldo Dominico Petilla.
Petilla said that the bridge located along Daguitan River will serve as the main link of Barangays Patag, Rojas, Villa Aurora, Calao and Tagadtaran to the town proper.
Majority of the residents of these remote villages depend on farming as their main source of income.
“With this bridge, the farmers can now transport their farm products easily to the market at low cost unlike before,” the governor said.
