DPWH: Bankerohan project in central office's hand

Tuesday, October 09, 2007

THE Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH)-Southern Mindanao is all set to face the Davao City Council Tuesday over the perceived delay in the Bankerohan bridge project but may not be offer much in the form of answers.

DPWH-Southern Mindanao director Hadji Pundidato Mitmug said though that they have a request for the council and that is for the body to pass a resolution requesting the DPWH central office to hasten the bidding process and awarding of the project.

He said the final decision is in the hands of their central office and not on the regional office. Mitmug said if only his office has a say on the project they would have started the construction of the Bankerohan bridge a long time ago.

The DPWH official said that based on his conversation with his superiors in Metro Manila last week, the bidding process is not yet over and that the program of works for the project is still being worked out.

Mitmug said the marching order of his superiors was to explain and justify to the Davao City Council and Mayor Rodrigo Duterte the delay in the construction and assure city officials that DPWH will do its best to finish the project by April 2008.

Asked if the DPWH can indeed complete the bridge within six months, Mitmug said it is possible if the contractor will double its effort to comply with the deadline.

As to the budget, Mitmug said the DPWH has allocated P100 million for this year and will be allocating an additional P50 million from its 2008 budget. He said the remaining balance for the project would be sourced from other funds like the Office of the President and countrywide development fund of Congress.

In Tuesday's hearing, Mitmug said he would be bringing with him his division chiefs, project engineers, information officer, and planning officer to help him explain the real score on the issue.

He said he will lay down the situation and hope that city officials and the public find it in their hearts and minds to understand that DPWH is trying its very best to have the construction of the Bankerohan bridge started as soon as possible.

"I hope that my friends in the council would not make it hard for me. To appear before the council is something very heavy for me. Mahirap palang maging director dahil sa iyo lahat bagsak ng problema. I now have sleepless nights," Mitmug said.

Mitmug also appealed to the media to refrain from ridiculing him, especially his surname, as what a radio broadcaster allegedly did in one of their interviews with him. (BOT)

Strong winds, waves demolish 39 houses

By Rizalene P. Acac

MONSOON waves wreaked havoc on two coastline communities over the weekend as 39 stilted houses were swept away by the violent tides.

In Barangay Matina Aplaya, the waves coupled with strong winds, destroyed 18 houses last Saturday while 21 others were torn down in Bucana, Brgy 76-A.

The Regional Disaster Coordinating Council warned residents leaving near the coasts to be wary of the phenomenon and contact barangay officials for immediate assistance or evacuation.

Vice Mayor Sara Duterte yesterday gave assistance to the affected families in Bucana, handing out P2, 000 and grocery items to 18 families in Purok 12-B and four families in Purok 4. The exact number of families affected in Brgy. Matina Aplaya, however, was not yet clear as of press time.

At the same time, Duterte asked the barangay captain to immediately look for a relocation site for the affected families.

“Katong area nga naigo dili na to patukaran ug usab kung dili kuralon na (The affected area will be fenced and no construction will not be allowed there),” she said over GMA-TV-5.

Gerry Pedrico, chief meteorological officer of the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa), said monsoon waves are a normal occurrence when a storm passes through the Philippine area.

He said the latest tropical depression, Hanna, changed the course of the wind from northeast to southeast.

“Nakagenerate ug southwest monsoon nga nisulod sa Davao Gulf (It generated the southeast monsoon and went into Davao Gulf),” he said.

He said the condition would continue until the middle of October and forewarned coastal residents to relocate to evacuation centers to be safe
