Vigilance over despicable DPWH projects

I watched the episode of GMA News TV’s Investigative Documentaries last Thursday, June 5 that focused on the despicable DPWH road-widening projects and the shameless cutting of old-growth trees along the national roads. GMA News TV exposed the insanity that DPWH, the favorite agency of President Benigno S. Aquino 3rd, has done in Los Baños, Laguna, and in Bulan, Sorsogon.

Last Sunday, the team of Investigative Documentaries brought me to the site of the controversial DPWH project in Los Baños, Laguna. I was invited in my capacity as Executive Director of InfraWatch (Citizens Infrastructure Integrity WatchDog) to analyze and comment on the despicable project, which widened a national road out of nowhere where few vehicles pass before entering the Mt. Makiling National Park.
