Here’s a look at the new concrete road near our home in Guimaras. The road improvements extend to the main entrance on a nearby national highway and go fairly close to the main gate of our home. One-half of the road is paved. I imagine that once the concrete cures, the other half of the road will be paved. At least one lane of the road will be open to traffic.
I haven’t measured the length of the improvements but once both sides of the new roadway are completely, I’ll note the distance on our truck’s odometer.
The sections of the road shown above were especially treacherous when the rainy season hit as the road is on an incline. The road would get extremely muddy and difficult to traverse.
We are so delighted to see this improvement and sincerely appreciate it.
THANKS AGAIN! Guimaras Governor Gumarin and his Public Information Officer Jaypee Kein G. Entredicho, and Provincial Engineering Dept., Chief Engineer Lolit and her crew.

I am happy to report that paving of our road has commenced! Crews have been pouring concrete at a rapid pace. We want to again say thank you to Guimaras Governor Gumarin and his Public Information Officer Jaypee Kein G. Entredicho, and Provincial Engineering Dept., Chief Engineer Lolit and her crew.
Without their help, this project may never have been accomplished.
THANK YOU!

It’s that time of year again in the Philippines, monsoon season. The unpaved motorway to our new home had been in a desperate state of disrepair for weeks. Thanks to Guimaras Governor Gumarin and his Public Information Officer Jaypee Kein G. Entredicho, we were able to get our road mended during last year’s rainy season. With the vital assistance of our Provincial Engineering Dept., Chief Engineer Lolit in Guimaras, along with her hard-working crew of drivers and laborers, we are once again able to traverse our road.
