She said that the inter-agency field visits documented success stories among the identified projects sites in the three towns of the province. Cunanan said that the activity aimed to strengthen collaboration with partner agencies as embodied in the PAMANA convergence framework. She said that among the projects visited are concreting of farm to market roads (FMRs) in barangays Malibago to Malaya and Maot; Kapit Bisig Laban sa Kahirapan-Comprehensive Integrated Delivery of Social Service (KALAHI-CIDDS) and PAMANA projects in brgys.
