DPWH TAPS DND, PNP TO COMPLETE INFRA PROJECTS IN AREAS WITH PEACE AND ORDER PROBLEMS |
Top

| |

The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) has tapped the Department of National Defense and the Philippine National Police to speed up work on key infrastructure projects that President Arroyo wants completed in 2010.
The move came as a senior DPWH official bares the apprehension of Public Works Secretary Hermogenes Ebdane Jr. over the safety of DPWH men and private contractors who risks lives and limbs to complete projects in rebel- and terrorist-infested areas.
“Public Works Secretary Ebdane is very concerned regarding the safety conditions of our men. They cannot even work 24/7 because of the threats against them,” said Senior Secretary Manuel Bonoan.
According to Bonoan, Ebdane has instituted measures to ensure that DPWH men, their heavy equipment as well as that of private contractors remain safe and that construction work remains unhampered.
This includes working hand in hand with other government agencies like the Department of National Defense (DND) thru its various Engineering Brigade and Naval Construction Divisions to speed up the DPWH’s road projects in strife-torn areas.
For instance, in Basilan where there is an on-going construction of a circumferential road, the DND deployed troops from the Philippine Marine Battalion Landing Team-9 (MBLT-9). A company of Special Action Force (SAF) personnel from of PNP was also tapped to secure the construction site.
“We are fortunate that inspite of the peace and order problems there are still kind-hearted funding agencies, bidders and construction firms that are willing to help us in bringing better roads to progress,” Bonoan said.
Bonoan said President Arroyo and Secretary Ebdane have time and again stressed that infrastructure projects bring peace and progress in restive communities as investment grows and peoples’ lives improve in the countryside.
Recently, Moro rebels burned the heavy equipment of a construction firm in Mindanao; in the town of Presentacion, Camarines Sur, the New People’s Army (NPA) also burned several heavy; and in the town of Gubat, Sorsogon, 30 NPA rebels stormed the district engineering office of the DPWH. |

DPWH RUSHES WORK ON ILOCOS VIADUCT TO BOOST TOURISM IN PAGUDPUD |
Top
|
| |
| |
The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) is moving heaven and earth to meet the August 31 deadline to complete the restoration work on the Patapat Viaduct in Ilocos Region to bring better access to
the spectacular beaches and resorts in Pagudpud.
“Per order of Secretary Hermogenes Ebdane Jr. to complete the viaduct on schedule, we have asked our men to work round the clock but without sacrificing quality work,’’ said DPWH Undersecretary Romeo Momo, who is in charge of the Luzon operations.
Patapat Viaduct is an important transport link connecting the major road networks of Ilocos Norte and Cagayan Valley Region.
According to Momo, restoration work on the P 219, 101,258.42 viaduct would boost tourism for the famous beaches of Pagudpud. Aside from Pagudpud, Ilocos region is also known for famous tourist attractions
like the Bangui Windmills, Malacanang of The North and Cape Bojeador Lighthouse.
DPWH Region 1 Director Mariano R. Alquiza said the completion of the viaduct would also improve safety for all those passing through it.
“Aside from the breath-taking scenic view along the coastal line of Northern Luzon, people would fully appreciate the major highway’s safety,” Alquiza said.
Ebdane had ordered Alquiza to strictly monitor the restoration of the 1.128-kilometer stretch of reinforced concrete structure viaduct which comprises of 76 spans that runs along the seashore beneath the steep
slopes of the Patapat Mountains in Pagudpod, Ilocos Norte; and forms part of the Laoag-Allacapan Road Section.
Vic Perez, director of the Philippine Japan Highway Loan-Project Management Office which is implementing the project, said the viaduct had been known to be dangerous for motorists since it is located near
rugged mountain cliffs.
Momo agrees, adding: “Patapat Viaduct has undergone series of damages paralyzing the tourism industry in the North. Landslides and rockslides always destroy the road often with human casualties.”
Patapat Viaduct, a 1.3 km concrete coastal bridge that connects the Maharlika Highway from Laoag, Ilocos Norte to the Cagayan Valley Region, is known as the 4th longest bridge in the Philippines. |

The Mindanao River Basin Task Force (MRBTF), composed of representatives from the local government and non-government units from Central Mindanao had recently expressed their gratitude over the immediate response and assistance of the Department of Public Works and Highways in the recent flood incidents of areas brought by heavy monsoon rains.
Mr. Solomon Badoy, Director of MRBTF said that the speedy response of the DPWH had lessened the damages of life and property over the flood affected towns in Sultan Kudarat, Maguindanao and Cotabato City.
“ After the downpour of heavy rains, the DPWH maintenance and emergency crew had immediately been deployed to conduct repair works on damaged infrastructure and conduct manual clearing of waterways to prevent the build-up of water lilies, which is the main cause of swelling in Ala and Simuay River” Badoy said.
Meanwhile, DPWH Region 12 Director Sinaolan Macarambon said that in coordination with the Regional Disaster Coordinating Council, the Department is also conducting “Sagip Tao”, an operation that includes the deployment of dump trucks and DPWH Shuttle Bus to transport flood affected residents to evacuation areas.
“ We are now planning to put up a satellite office in Matampay Bridge so that the Department can conduct a round the clock monitoring of water level and river condition. I also instructed some of our maintenance and equipments crew to stay near the bridge location” Macarambon said.
Macarambon added that the Department had been assisting with the Department of Social Welfare and Development and the Mindanao Economic Development Committee during the transportation of relief goods to the evacuation areas. |

TALLEST LEYTE BRIDGE ALSO RP’S NEWEST TOURIST ATTRACTION |
Top
|
| |
| |
The country’s highest bridge in Southern Leyte is now also the Philippines’ newest tourist attraction, specifically for brave souls who can bungee-jump 30 stories down from the 90-meter high bridge.
The Agas-Agas Bridge, which President Macapagal Arroyo will inaugurate Sunday, straddles between two mountains and traverses along the Mahaplag – Sogod Section of the Tacloban – Liloan Road. It provides a significant link for motorists traveling from Luzon to Mindanao.
But seeing its high tourism potential, Public Works Secretary Hermogenes Ebdane Jr. submitted to the President a plan to turn the P1,024,000 billion bridge into a haven for sports enthusiasts who are into bungee jumping, paramotor, downhill skateboarding and zipline rapelling and other extreme sports.
“It has a natural tourist attraction and the way the bridge is constructed is very modern,’’ Ebdane said of the bridge project constructed by Philippine-Japan Highway Loan – Project Monitoring Office.
Seeing the panoramic beauty of the mountains and rivers around it, the President has ordered that a bungee jumping platform to be constructed along the bridge and as well as other tourists amenities.
“Now you can jump from the bridge and live to tell it. We invite extreme sports enthusiasts to come over and check out the bridge’s sky-scraping height,’’ said Undersecretary Rafael Yabut, who oversees operation for the Department of Public Works and Highways in the Visayas regions.
“The president is very excited about the construction of Agas-Agas Bridge as part of her SONA Projects in Region VIII because it serves as a venue for major economic activities,” Yabut added.
He said the Agas-Agas section of the Maharlika Highway in Southern Leyte is known for being prone to slides during heavy rains.
Since it is situated in a mountainous area, it is regularly reported that movements of loose soil or landslides take place whenever it rains heavily, much more when typhoon strikes the province.
Thus, the viaduct was constructed in 2006 primarily to help motorists avoid the mountainous sections that are prone to landslides and road slips and prevent life and property losses.
This bridge is by far the tallest pier or column that the DPWH has constructed. It involves the construction of a 350 linear meter bridge, with a mix of steel and concrete, supported by two piers from the ground and has a height of 292 feet above ground. |

COMPLETION OF ANTI-FLOOD PROJECT IN ILOILO PROTECT
PEOPLE FROM P5-BILLION IN PROPERTY LOSES |
Top
|
| |
| |
Public Works Secretary Hermogenes Ebdane Jr. has mobilized public works and highways officials and personnel in Iloilo to rush the completion of over P2.5 billion flood control projects that would spare the residents of up to P5 billion annual losses in properties due to floods.
“Secretary Ebdane wants us to work fast to mitigate flood damages and inundation in Iloilo in order to give the people there a sustainable urban community and safer, more pleasant living condition,” said Patrick B. Gatan, head of the DPWH-Project Management Office for Major Flood Control (DPWH-PMO-MFCPI).
“The flood control project is mainly composed of river improvement and construction of floodways. Two floodways are employed to divert the excess flood discharge of Jaro River towards the Iloilo Strait, namely Jaro Floodway and La Paz Floodway,” Gatan said in explaining the scope of the project.
Funded by the Japan Intentional Cooperative Agency (JICA, formerly JBIC), Gatan said there are three contract packages for the Iloilo Flood Control Project.
Package one (1), costing P1, 580,361,689.33, involves the construction of the Jaro floodway. It is 79.69 percent complete. Immediately by the Korean-firm Hanjin Construction, the project includes the building of four bridges that will divert the overflowing flood in Jaro River.
DPWH-PMO-MFCP Assistant Project Director Ramon Ariola III said package 1 also includes the construction Tigum and Aganan River improvement.
Package to (2), costing P1,061,208,472.47, covers the construction of Carpenter Bridge, which is 98.1 percent complete. It also involves the improvement of the Upper Ingore Creek, Jaro River Mouth and Iloilo River.
According to Gatan, the Carpenter Bridge is now one of the busiest and most useful bridges in Iloilo since it serves as a major gateway to the city proper.
Contract package three (3), costing P29, 552,223.05, includes the construction and development of relocation sites in Buntatala, Sooc and Kasadyahan. The project provides shelter to the informal settlers in Iloilo City.
With a 100 percent completion rate, the project provided adequate water supply, lighting system and livelihood projects for 3,000 families at eh relocation sites.
Summing up the importance of these flood-mitigation projects, Gatan said: “These project would definitely save our people from improvement and bring progress as well.”
Iloilo City has been suffering from flood damages almost every year due to the insufficient flow capacity of the Jaro River and poor drainage system in the Iloilo River Basin. |
