The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) – Bataan 2nd District Engineering Office (DEO) has finished paving a 1.0-lane-kilometer section of a farm-to-market road in Greatest Manimas, Sitio Bani, Barangay Cupang Proper, City of Balanga.
ย
According to OIC-District Engineer Roland Rainier Victorino, the newly concreted road is expected to enhance mobility for local farmers and residents by facilitating a more efficient transport of agricultural goods and better access to markets and essential services.

โThe previously unpaved road posed significant safety risks, particularly during the rainy season. With this improvement, we can now ensure a safer path for the community,โ Victorino said.
ย
The project also involved the installation of guardrails and the application of thermoplastic pavement markings to improve overall road safety.
ย
Implemented through the convergence program of the DPWH and the Department of Agriculture (DA), the project was funded under the 2024 national budget at a total cost of P15.56 million.
