Barangay Bolhoon composed of 5,555 inhabitants with 793 households, San Roque
with 3,866 inhabitants that accounts to 908 households while Barangay Baras has
1,485 inhabitants with 382 total households. The Three (3) beneficiary barangays

farming/production of variety of high value crops like: Coconut, root crops, Abaca,

The premise of the Concreting of Gamuton-Siawang Farm to Market Road allow
easy transportation of agricultural products, goods and delivery of basic social
services to the residents of the beneficiary barangays.
Currently, the Gamuton-Siawang Farm to Market Road section is gravel road in
bad/poor condition, lack of proper drainage has caused rainwater to pool and create
muddy patches, that contributing to the road’s deterioration and it leads to hindrance
to economic activity, safety, and the overall well-being of the communities it serves.
The current means of transportation passing through this road segment going to
Barangays Baras, San Roque and Bolhoon are Cargo trucks, Four wheeled private
vehicles, Habal-habal, tri-wheeled vehicle, Habal-habal and Motorcyles.

will reduce vehicle maintenance cost and it will also add an additional mode of
transportation to serve the constituents like Electric Tricycle and Electric Bicycle
and even additional number of units of a three wheeled vehicle (Bao-bao). It will
also reduce travel time from Barangay Poblacion going to Barangay Bolhoon by
11% from 45 minutes down to 40 minutes and 17% decrease from 30 minutes down
to 25 minutes for Barangay San Roque.
