To improve road safety and extend the lifespan of a vital roadway, Barangay Tiniguiban in Puerto Princesa City is undertaking a preventive maintenance project.

Amelia B. Fajardo, the Palawan 3rd District Engineer, reported to Gerald A. Pacanan, CESO III, DPWH MIMAROPA Regional Director, that the project involves removing and replacing deteriorated road structures that have developed uneven surfaces, raveling, potholes, and minor settlement in multiple areas of the existing asphalt overlay.
