CARIGARA, Leyte- The Department of Public Works and Highways-Leyte Second District Engineering Office allocated a total of P85 million for the construction of a concrete road leading to Villaconzoilo Agri and Ecotourism Farm and Silawa Falls, both in Burauen town.
The project involves 3.5 kilometers with the width of 6.1 meters and thickness of .028 meters, including culverts, excavation and embankment.
District Engineer Carlos Veloso said that the project will provide convenient access for visitors who want to experience the natural forest atmosphere and the relaxing effect of the cool and clean waterfalls.

At present, the road to Villaconzoilo Agri and Eco-Tourism Farm, located in Barangay Villaconzoilo, is now accessible.
However, the road leading to Silawa Falls, also located in the same village about seven kms away from the town center, is still underway.
Meanwhile, the Payapa at Masaganang Pamana (Pamana) has funded about P 9.85 million in addition to the road concreting works at Villaconzoilo leading to Silawa Falls.(LIZBETH ANN A. ABELLA)
