SECRETARY SINGSON CALLS FOR GOOD GOVERNANCE |
Top |
| |
DPWH Secretary Rogelio L. Singson urged the DPWH officials in Region I to continuously do their task as public servant for the good of the community.
“Let us enforce good governance by implementing the right project with the right cost and right quality, completed right on time by the right people,” said Secretary Singson in a meeting held recently at the regional office.
Citing the floods and landslide that happen in Mindanao, Secretary Singson also discussed the importance of drainage systems in all national roads particularly in flooded areas. “Flood mitigations done by the DPWH are very crucial. We must make sure that waterways, canals and drainages are not clogged, and effectively working especially during rainy seasons,” he said.
He also instructed the District Engineers to be strict in the checking of application for approval of subdivision developers’ plans particularly those along the national roads.
“Make sure that these proposed subdivision must have retarding basins to avoid flooding, hindi yong nakikipagsabayan ang agos ng tubig sa mga subdivision sa ating mga drainage system na nasa national highways. Drainage systems are constructed to collect waters runoff from national roads not from subdivision, Singson said.
He added that the DPWH has already advised the Housing and Land Use Regulatory Board (HLURB) to incorporate this in their policies prior as major prerequisite to issuance of permits to prospective subdivision developers.
