DPWH Proposes Slope Protection in Landslide-Prone Area
The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) plans to include a slope protection component along the ongoing access road project leading to Ulan-Ulan Falls in Barangay Sampao, municipality of Almeria, province of Biliran.
According to his report to DPWH Secretary Roger G. Mercado , DPWH Region 8 Director Allan S. Borromeo said that the road is frequently affected by landslides, causing soil and rock materials to obstruct traffic and endanger both pedestrians and motorists.
A portion of the access road was recently closed due to landslide and rockslide.
