    Per DPWH, the completed road projects along JASA (which cost P69.25 million) are part of its asset preservation and preventive maintenance program to prevent road deterioration and other inconveniences.

    JASA, also known as Gapan-San Fernando-Olongapo Road, serves as a major highway connecting the provinces of Nueva Ecija, Pampanga, and Zambales.
