			Engr. Salvador G. Regis, 
			Chief of the Construction Section says that out of 76 projects, 
			three of these have already started while 73 are Not-Yet-Started (NYS) 
			because of the suspension of work activity due to the damaged caused 
			by typhoon Urduja and other matters such as the perfection of 
			contract.

			School, Caibiran, Biliran, all under the supervision of Engr. 
			Alberto V. Cañete, Project Engineer.
			Engr. Cañete reveals that 
			the said projects were started on December 5, 2017, however due to 
			the onslaught of tropical storm Urduja on December 15-16, 2017, 
			these projects were suspended.
			“Work activity for these 
			three projects were temporarily suspended after Urduja due to the 
			difficulty in transporting the materials to the site. Construction 
			will resume on February,” says Cañete.
			Based on Biliran DEO’s 
			physical status report, these three on-going projects have an 
			overall actual physical accomplishment of 0.39%, hence still meets
