ILOILO – Four more provincial roads totaling 30.966 kilometers are up for rehabilitation under the Conditional Matching Grant to Provinces (CMGP) program of the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG).
DILG already endorsed to the Department of Budget and Management (DBM) the release of P413,885,031.05 for the implementation of the projects.
CMGP was formerly known as the Konkreto at Ayos na Lansangan at Daan Tungo sa Pangkalahatang Kaunlaran (Kalsada) program.
The provincial roads to be rehabilitated and their corresponding project cost are the following:
* Mina-Talibong-Yugot-Nabitasan-Naslo Road covering the towns of Mina and Pototan (8.812 kms) – P121,815,217.20

Engr. Isagani Baldevieso of the Provincial Engineers Office (PEO) said the Bids and Awards Committee (BAC) is now preparing the documents for the bidding of the projects.
Under the former Kalsada program, DILG released P162 million for the rehabilitation of 15.3-kilometer provincial road linking Anilao, Dingle and San Enrique towns, which is already nearing completion.
Meanwhile, the bidding process for another road project under the Philippine Rural Development Project (PRDP), which is spearheaded by the Department of Agriculture and World Bank, has commenced. This is the rehabilitation of the 9.9-kilometer Tinucuan-Purog-Maribuyong, Dueñas farm-to-market road with a project cost of P101,596,718.38.
There are three ongoing PRDP road rehabilitation projects in the province. These are the following:
