Public Works and Highways- Kalinga District Engineering Office.
Engineer Theodoro
Owek, KDEO chief of construction, said
fund allocation for Kalinga includes regular projects worth P50 million and
below which KDEO implements and
regional projects worth above P50 million implemented by the regional DPWH office.
The bulk of the

Owek said this also
includes two tourism infrastructure projects, concreting of the
Pullekak-Naneng road (P27M) and Tomiangan road going to the starting point of the white water rafting (P10M).
Meanwhile, KDEO district engineer Ireneo Gallato said they have completed all their 2014
regular projects except for Kagutungan and Baay bridges along Pinukpuk-Balbalan
road.
He said they are on
track to complete the pavement of primary roads this year as mandated by President Aquino.
“Of the total 398
