LEGAZPI CITY: The controversial public works and
highways in Bicol has not had any formal meeting with the local
press for almost seven years now, and media practitioners are asking
the agency to regularly inform the public how billions of funds
poured into the region are being spent.
Dubbed as the agency most affected by
so-called man-made calamity, then-Albay Governor Fernando Gonzales
refused to insulate the agency from media criticisms, saying the
agency’s track record in implementing the multimillion Mount Mayon
dredging project at an average of 25 percent was rather dismal.
