These series of activities are under the Basic Infrastructure initiative of the Office of Representative Hataman to support and boost agriculture productivity of countryside barangays and is one of the priority development projects to help in facilitating the immediate transport of agricultural crops from the farms to the nearest market. These were funded through the same office in close cooperation with the City Government of Isabela under the administration of Mayor Sitti Djalia Turabin-Hataman.

Signalling the start of the road project, he also led the ground-breaking of the Lanote-Calvario farm to market road on February 01, even if it was a special non-working holiday.
