Elipe to DPWH-10: Execution of road projects not proper

Misamis Oriental provincial board member President Elipe is seeking clarification over the national-funded road works implemented in the highways of the province which hampers traffic flow and brought hassle to the public.

In his special report, Elipe said he wanted to correct the what for him is

because of the string of rob-beimproper execution of road projects of the Department of Public Works and HighwaysN orthern Mindanao (DPWH-10) such as road widening or expansion and road repairs.

In road concreting for instance, Elipe said workers begin the repair activities at the center of the road then do the widening works later, which for him causes disturbance.

“Unahon unta ang widening sa both lanes ayha guba-on ang tunga para dili maperwisyo ang katawhan. They should consider the traffic and safety sa motorists and public, ”Elipe said.

“Daghan projects sa highway

sa Misamis Oriental nga akong namatikdan nga ingon ani ang pamaagi busa gusto nato kini ma-rectify for safety ug aron dili masayang ang trabaho sa gobyerno,” he added.

Elipe said he was not convinced with the excuse of the public works department which blames the budget as the reason.

The DPWH-Northern Mindanao was invited during the session last Monday to clarify and explain how they carried out their road projects.

“I’m not convince sa excuse sa DPWH nga they area saying nga mas una ang budget nga ayuhon ang dalan unya ulahi ang widening I don’t buy it,”Elipe said.

Concerns on electric posts and trees on the road were also

raised at the plenary, prompting the board to summon the Misamis Oriental Rural Electric Cooperative 1 and 2 and the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) to shed light on the related issue in the next session.

Elipe said they would then craft resolutions after hearing all parties.

“Continuing pani ug atong gusto i-verify sa Moresco kining about sa poste ug sa DENR kanin sa isyu sa kahoy ayha ta kabuhat og resolution kung tan-aw nato aha nga opisina ang pabaya sa ana nga responsibility,” Elipe said.

“Unfair man pud nga ipasangil sa DPWH especially sa issue sa poste nga dili katanggal mao dili ma-implement ang projects sa DPWH,” he added.
