DPWH-PBP RESPONSE TEAM HELPS REMOVE WATER LILIES IN COTABATO |

 Removal of water lilies and grass debris clogging Pulangi River Section of the Rio Grande de Mindanao continue to make progress as the Department of Public Works and Highways-President’s Bridge Program (DPWH-PBP) Emergency Response Team boost the DPWH Region 12 and Local Government Units effort to clear blocked waterways in Cotabato City.
The DPWH-President’s Bridge Program Emergency Response Team and dredging equipment sent by Director Emil Sadain upon instruction of Secretary Hermogenes E. Ebdane Jr. augmented the limited available equipment of DPWH Region 12 and local government of Cotabato City in clearing the estimated seven (7) hectares wide water lilies and grass roots that converge following the heavy rains triggered by typhoon “Frank”.
Sadain said that workers continued to make progress as cranes, excavators, and dump trucks works double time to boost the concerted removal activities.
A floating barge component (12 modular parts) with 18 tons backhoe is being utilize to creep on, reaching to completely cleanse the mid part of the river in 10 days time, Sadain added.
Ebdane said that collective efforts from various sectors are seen working together to split off the water lilies about a meter thick of roots beneath the surface of the river.
In the past week, the clearing efforts by the DPWH Region 12, Cotabato City government and its residents were continuously on-going but not tantamount to unclogged the Pulangi River which can be aggravated by the influx of an enormous quantity of flashed water lilies cast on the river.
The blocking held by the alternate delta bridge somehow mitigates the rapid inflow of mass and thick rooted water lilies, which can severely damage or collapse the old Quirino Bridge, directly massing underneath the bridge mid pier.
The terrible mass of water lilies led to widespread flooding into as many barangays and low level areas of Cotabato City in Central Mindanao. |

 Motorists and commuters traversing the Cotabato - Davao Road will now be relieved of road safety woes especially passing the double blind curve in Malaang section as the Department of Public Works and Highways reported the completion of the Malaang II Bridge in Lanao, Kidapawan City.
In his report to DPWH Secretray Hermogenes E. Ebdane Jr., DPWH Region XII Director Osop Ali said that the new bridge connects the new access road connecting Cotabato-Davao road because of its straight alignment which is safer compared to the existing double blind curve along Malaang Section.
“ The existing Malaang Section is even dubbed by the local PNP as the accident curve because records shows that a total of two to three vehicular accidents occurs in the area yearly because of the double blind curve” Ali said.
Ali added that through the DPWH Cotabato 1nst Engineering District, they conducted a feasibility study and found out that installed warning signs are insufficient to assure the road safety thus they had come up in constructing a shorter and safer access road in the said road section.
“ Condering that Kidapawan City is one of the major fruit basket here in Mindanao, we must assure the continuous flow of traffic along Davao-Cotabato Road because it is one of the major road network that is being utilized by the truckers in delivering raw fruit products to the fruit processing facilities” said Ali.
This P 45 Million Bridge project was funded under the DPWH Regular Infrastructure fund, involves the construction of a pre-stressed concrete girder bridge including the concrete paving of the bridge approach.
As of April 25, 2008, the main bridge was already complete, while an additional P20 Million funding is now being appropriated for the remaining concreting works. |
