CARIGARA, Leyte –
Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Eastern Visayas
regional director Nerie Bueno conducted a road check and project
inspection in areas at Leyte second district engineering office.
Key officials of the
district led by district engineer Gerald Pacanan accompanied Bueno
and provided her the necessary inputs and information regarding
roads and projects under the district’s jurisdiction.
Bueno commended the
district for the clean road sides and carriageways along national
highway. However, she observed that some road sections have either
low or high shoulder, and pointed out a specific newly-paved road
with scaling.
Maintenance chief
Francisco Robin Jr. noted all the remarks of Bueno and promised to
take appropriate actions immediately. He also reminded the engineers
to closely monitor infrastructure projects and to make sure that the
contractors strictly follow program of works, plans and
specifications of each project.
Aside from the road check,
Bueno also inspected projects implemented by the regional office in
Leyte 2. These are the Tingib bridge in Pastrana town, road
concreting in Rubas, Jaro, Naugisan bridge in Carigara, and
Naliwatan bridge in Tunga.
According to Pacanan, the
inputs and comments of the regional director were all noted for
proper actions in order to improve delivery of service to the
public.
This is the second time
Bueno visited the district, and the first time during the leadership
of Pacanan as the new district engineer.
Overall, Bueno has seen
major improvements compared to her previous visit. Now, she
challenges Leyte II to work harder to maintain its good standing and
improve in all areas.
