President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr. with the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) presided over the inauguration of the 11.607-kilometer road under the Samar Pacific Coastal Road (SPCR) Project in Palapag, Northern Samar in July 14, 2023.
This road project, says the President, is one of the final parts of the SPCR Project and is only one of the 21 projects that the Korean Government is assisting the Philippine Government.
As implemented by DPWH Unified Project Management Office, the SPCR Project is funded by the government of Korea (GoK) under Korea Export-Import Bank Economic Development Cooperation Fund (KEDCF) Loan Agreement Under PHL-14 and the Government of the Philippines (GoP).
At a funding of Php1.03B, its road length runs from the Simora Junction extending to the remote areas in the Municipality of Laoang up to Barangay Mabaras in the Municipality of Palapag.
