President Benigno S. Aquino III and Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Secretary Rogelio L. Singson lead the inaugural drive-through of P700-million Lullutan Bridge in Ilagan, Isabela. Spanning the Cagayan River, the 500.6-meter bridge is one of the longest bridges built for Region 2, connecting Barangays Camalagui and Lullutan in the municipality of Ilagan. Prior to its completion, farmers had to travel via barges to transport their agricultural products to markets.

Public Works and Highways Secretary Rogelio L. Singson issued a policy directive calling the attention of contractors who are prospective bidders for DPWH infrastructure contracts to disclose all their ongoing and completed projects with the government and private entities.

“I noticed that some contractors or bidders do not disclose complete information of their ongoing projects. In some instances, their submitted documents for eligibility do not have information on ongoing contracts particularly those with the private entities,” Secretary Singson said.
