Almost ten months after the sweeping in barangay Mayana, Jagna, the highway passing through Sierra-Bullones town is now open to vehicles.

Cong. Eladio M. Jala of the third district bared in an interview last week.

Information officer Neil Berro of this town also confirmed it during the meeting of the Association of United Development Information Officers (AUDIO) at La Roca Hotel last week.

Jala said that the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) third engineering district based in Guindulman town initiated to make the national highway passable.

The landslide, which became "unstable and moving" for months, has rendered the hinterland highway practically impassable. But after the landslide stabilized, highway officials decided to restore the mud-covered road.

Meanwhile, Jala also bared that he has sourced out funds inserted in the General Appropriations Act this year under the DPWH for concreting of some portion of the highway to commence this year.
He added that P7 million can help kick off the concrete paving works. (RVO)
