NAVAL, Biliran, Jan. 12 (PNA) -- The Department of
Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Biliran district engineering office (BDEO)
ended 2016 with high accomplishment posting of 91.84 percent, surpassing the 85
percent target set by the central office.
The Biliran office has been allotted PHP683.745
million under 2016 DPWH infrastructure program with 66 projects.
DPWH Biliran district engineer David Adongay Jr.
revealed that out of the 66 lined-up projects, Biliran completed 62 projects,
with four remaining projects ongoing under the regular infrastructure program.
Adongay previously reported that these remaining
projects encountered delay due to inclement weather condition in the province
that hinders the contractors in smoothly performing their operation, and other
problems such as the acquisition of road-right-of-way.
These projects are the PHP45-million construction
of slope protection along Biliran Circumferential Road; PHP45 -million
construction of Biliran diversion road including slope protection and right of
way acquisitions; PHP8.7-million replacement of Banlas Bridge along Maripipi
Circumferential Road; and the PHP5-million repair of Biliran Bridge along
Leyte-Biliran Road.
Adongay said that those remaining projects will be
spilled over on the first quarter of 2017.
“We need to fast-track our implementation of
projects, but we have to ensure that projects are in good quality,” Adongay said.
Adongay was recently awarded as Best District
Engineer by the DPWH regional office for his invaluable support and high degree
of commitment in all the undertakings of the regional office and for
consistently rendering his superior performance in the attainment of the
department’s mission, vision and strategic objectives.
