“The entire project is already 40.55% completed and is expected to contribute to greater socio-economic interventions by helping eradicate conflict brought by communist rebel groups in the area,” said DPWH secretary Manuel Bonoan. “Once completed, the usual travel time of four hours from Tacloban City to Maasin City, Leyte will be reduced by one hour, therefore hastening delivery of basic services in and out of the towns.”
