STA. CRUZ, Marinduque -- The newly completed road project in Brgy. San Antonio, Santa Cruz, Marinduque is set to significantly improve the transportation infrastructure in the area, offering safer and more efficient travel for both residents and commuters. The project, which spans 1,100 linear meters, involved the full concreting of the road and the construction of essential drainage systems.
The roadworks included the concreting of a 1,100-meter-long section with a thickness of 0.23 meters of Portland Cement Concrete Pavement (PCCP) and gravel shoulders on both sides. In addition, the project involved surplus excavation of 2,610 cubic meters of earth and the construction of a 1,070-meter-long line canal with stone masonry.
The project also featured the installation of a 27-meter-long Reinforced Concrete Pipe Culvert (RCPC) and 16.5 cubic meters of stone masonry to manage water flow effectively.
The newly paved road provides a safe and durable infrastructure for seamless vehicle travel, with notable benefits for both residents and commuters. According to a resident of Brgy. San Antonio, the road has made transporting products to different clients much easier and faster. The smoother road surface is a welcome change for local businesses, helping them deliver goods more efficiently.
Another local resident shared that the new road has significantly improved the daily commute, reducing travel time from Brgy. San Antonio to Sta. Cruz from an hour to just 30 minutes. This has had a positive effect on both residents’ daily routines and the overall transportation efficiency in the area.

DOLE nagbigay ng P1.1-M pondo sa mga mangingisda sa Buenavista
BUENAVISTA, Marinduque -- Inaasahang nasa 80 miyembro nang Samahan ng mga Mangingisda sa Barangay Yook sa bayan ng Buenavista, Marinduque ang makikinabang sa pondong inilaan ng Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE).
Ang pagkakaloob ng nasabing tulong pinansyal ay bahagi ng pagsusumikap ng ahensya na makatulong sa lahat ng sektor ng lipunan lalo na sa mga manggagawa at mangingisda upang mapabuti ang kanilang paghahanapbuhay.
Ang pondo na nagkakahalaga ng P1,195,000 ay nakalaan sa pagbili ng mga engine motor para sa mga bangka ng mga benepisyaryo gayundin sa pagbili ng mga kagamitan sa pangingisda kagaya ng fishing gears at iba pa.
Ayon kay Philip Alano, provincial director ng DOLE-Marinduque, ang programa ay nagpapakita ng patuloy na pakikipagtulungan ng kanilang tanggapan sa lokal na pamahalaan upang tutukan ang pagsusulong ng kalagayan ng mga mangingisda at suportahan ang industriya ng pangisdaan pati na rin ang kanilang pamilya.
Nagpahayag naman ng pasasalamat si Mayor Eduard Siena sa tulong na ibinigay ng DOLE para sa karagdagang suporta na ipinagkaloob sa mga mangingisda na aniya ay makatutulong ng malaki sa kanilang kabuhayan.
Patuloy ring pinalalakas ng DOLE ang iba pang mga programang makapagpapabuti sa kalagayan ng mga manggagawa sa lalawigan, ilan na rito ay ang DOLE-TUPAD at Nego-Kart na laan para sa mga kwalipikadong mamamayan. (Ana Maria Korina D. Arcilla/MNN)
