The projects include the P6-million concreting of Liki-Cabagdalan Road Section and P24-million Poblacion-Lamesa Road Section in Balamban, awarded to WTG Construction and Development Corp. The others are: P11.8 million for the Mangga-Sto. Niño Road Section in Tuburan won by April Rose Enterprises and Builders; P36-million Zaragosa-Rosario Road Section in Aloguisan under Quirante Construction; P24 million for the concreting of select road sections in 24 barangays in Pinamungajan, under B.L.
