Japan turns over new bridge in Ifugao

Japan turned over Alimit-Nattum RCDG (Reinforced Concrete Deck Girder) bridge with access roads constructed through Japan-donated 'Forestland Management Project.' It now provides easier access for the facilitation of proper forest management as well as for the transport of agricultural and non-agricultural products of upland communities, particularly indigenous peoples.

Sakamoto Takema, Chief Representative of JICA Philippines attended the event together with Tachikawa Jumpei, First Secretary and Agriculture Attache at the Japanese Embassy. Ifugao Representative Solomon Chungalao, Governor Jerry Dalipog, Mayoyao Mayor Jimmy Padchanan, Jr., DENR CAR Executive Director Ralph Pablo and DENR Director Al Orolfo were also present.
