CITY OF SAN FERNANDO - The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) divulged that another P69-million has been allocated for c. 

Rafael Yabut, DPWH undersecretary for Project Management Office Operations -Foreign-Assisted Projects in an interview claimed that initially P49-million was approved by the national government to cover  the remaining construction works on the said road. 

Baliuag-Candaba road is national in nature whose maintenance and construction fall  within the authority of the national government through DPWH. 

"Mayroon nakalaang pondo para dyan para magamit na ng ating mga kababayan ang nasabing kalsada," he told Sun Star Pampanga. 

Yabut said that they are targeting to complete the construction before the end of the term of President Benigno Aquino. 

"Hopefully matatapos natin ito sa 2016," he stated. 

The DPWH executive further noted that the public works has set aside another  P20-million for the same road to ensure its completion as projected.

This according to him indicates the strong desire of the current administration to link the province of Pampanga particularly the town of Candaba to the province of Bulacan, Baliuag in particular. 

If completed, there will be an easy access from Baliuag to Candaba with a minimum travel time of 30 minutes.
