According to the Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR-7) in the region, the "Tulay Ng Pangulo Para sa Kaunlarang Pang-agraryo" is described as a bridging project for the agrarian reform communities (ARCs) that are funded under the Agrarian Reform Program.
The President's bridge program gives emphasis on the construction and or rehabilitation of bridges and the provision of other key support services such as livelihood, farm inputs, others that would promote sustainable development in the beneficiary areas.
DAR-7 added, the program actually aims to facilitate the reach of agrarian communities to become productive assets and opportunities in terms of land, capital, employment, and networks.
It will also bring government closer to them through other services such as health, education, basic welfare and infrastructure.
"Bridges open access to basic government services to the countryside which results into increased income and better quality of life of the agrarian communities and other farmers in remote areas," DAR said. (PIA-Cebu/MBCN)
