DPWH Marinduque: Catching up on infra (cont'd)

Farm-to-Market (FMR) roads have, likewise, been constructed both in town centers such as Villa Mendez in Mogpog and far-flung areas like Sitio Manlumod, Brgy. Guisian, once a rebel-infested area in northern Mogpog.








There's, therefore, a lot of catching up to do in the province of Marinduque in the area of road and infrastructure development, brought about by factors already mentioned.




“The general perception of the people down from the barangay level was that a significant improvement in terms of the quality of road projects done during the previous post of the district engineer compared to the present one became highly noticeable”, Bishop Evanglista of the Diocese of Boac stated in his missive to DPWH Secretary Singson.



The Bishop also pointed out that the DPWH district office had long suffered from negative criticism due to ill managed projects, but is now gaining support and has served as a role model agency in the province particularly in the areas of “work ethics, honesty and transparency in the disbursement of funds and awarding of biddings”, among others.



A building in Mogpog to serve as the Police Station was inaugurated recently and is among those constructed by DPWH from Congressman Allan Velasco's Prioriy Development Assistance Fund (PDAF)




There are still many local barangays that prioritize the construction or repairs of barangay halls when identifying their infrastructure needs. In the municipality of Mogpog, some barangay where the DPWH has completed or ongoing multi-purpose building projects are:


Barangay Mangyan-Mababad

Barangay Anapog-Sibucao

Barangay Banto








Barangay Silangan

Barangay Hinanggayon

Barangay Danao





Barangay Hinadharan

Barangay Lamesa

Barangay Paye
