FMR changes
Samaleños’ lives
thru AM 2020

Farm-to-market roads (FMR) play a highly significant role
in improving the rural economy. They are particularly critical
to greater food production and trimming down the cost of farm
commodities. These infrastructures, at the very least, are the arteries where
manpower and goods circulate. And whether we are talking medically, or in this
context, agriculturally, we know that good circulation translates to good life.

Sitio Aplo in Barangay San Juan, a neighborhood in the Municipality of Samal,
Bataan, is a home for smallholders and fisherfolk. Throwback to years ago, these

workers had been enduring the bumpy travel to and from the distribution
centers via the then dirt road.
Definitely, it was not just a problem of mere inconvenience. For
these farmers, mostly low-earning individuals who spend the entire
day tilling the land, being unable to bring their produce when and
where it may fetch the best price is a big of a deal. This is exactly
why the local government had chosen Sitio Aplo as the recipient
community of the town’s FY 2020 AM Program.
With an allocation of P11,623,000.00 through the DILG’s Local
Government Support Fund, the LGU managed to pave a six-meter
wide road covering the 603-meter portion of this street from the
existing pavement. Slope protection structures were also provided in
areas where the situation requires. The project, which was completed
in just 78 days amidst the pandemic, is a promise of a better delivery of
products and a hope for a lower poverty incidence dedicated to the not less
than 36,000 constituents of this farm town.
It is no doubt that when you pave a road, you empower a community.
This is because roads do not just connect people—they change lives. Today,
the challenge of the uneven dirt road is behind them, and the lives of these
smallholders and residents will never be the same again.
