The Equi-Parco Construction Company (EPCC) is continuing to push forward with key infrastructure projects in Northern Mindanao, including newly built roads and bridges to flood control systems. EPCC is a private sector company focused on implementing infrastructure projects across the Philippines. Since its earliest undertakings in 1991, such as the Construction of the Misamis Oriental–Bukidnon By-Pass Road awarded in 2015, EPCC has steadily expanded its portfolio of priority projects aimed at improving connectivity, accessibility, and safety for residents and industries alike.
Its latest project, the Butuan City–Agusan del Norte Logistical Highway, awarded in early 2020, reflects this ongoing momentum to link strategic areas through modern, resilient infrastructure. EPCC’s goal has always been to ensure that communities feel the real impact of these projects, not just in terms of roads built or bridges completed, but in the way these developments change lives for the better.
Among EPCC’s major undertakings are road projects designed to ease urban congestion and enhance trade routes. The construction of bypass and diversion roads in Barangay Gusa, Cagayan de Oro City, has provided alternative routes for delivery trucks and commuters who used to face hours of gridlock along the city’s main thoroughfares. Before the project, heavy traffic disrupted daily life and hampered logistics operations. But after completion, motorists could traverse Gusa to Puerto more smoothly, helping cut travel time and improve the flow of goods in and out of the city.
Bridges have also played a key role in EPCC’s portfolio. In one project, engineers addressed the challenge of deep seabeds that made rock embankments impractical. The result is a reliable bridge that now ensures safe and steady passage between previously disconnected areas. The new structure has since opened up opportunities for commerce and community interaction that were once impossible.
Flood control and drainage systems form another critical component of EPCC’s work, particularly in areas frequently hit by storms. In Barangays Macasandig and San Simon in Cagayan de Oro City, as well as Hinaplanon and Santiago in Iligan City, new flood mitigation structures have significantly reduced flooding incidents that once displaced families and damaged property every rainy season.
EPCC’s priority projects go beyond roads and flood control. The company has also taken on building construction and water supply systems, signaling its shift toward comprehensive community development that includes essential facilities and public utilities. These efforts align with the government’s broader push for regional resilience and equitable growth, particularly in Mindanao, where access to quality infrastructure has long been a key driver of economic and social progress.
With dozens of ongoing and completed projects across the region, EPCC renews its commitment to delivering infrastructure that serves people first, building connections, ensuring safety, and laying the groundwork for a more resilient and connected Mindanao. The company measures success not just in kilometers of roads or meters of bridges, but in the stability and prosperity they bring. That’s the kind of development EPCC aims to build—lasting, inclusive, and genuinely felt by the communities it serves.
