Bacolod Mayor Alfredo Abelardo Benitez said he is asking the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) to explain why they are repairing roads that are not really damaged when there are others that are in need of repair.
They are drilling holes in roads that are not in bad condition, Benitez said on Monday, April 17.
There are currently 10 identified areas with major road works in Bacolod City, the majority of which are being undertaken by the DPWH.
The city government is closely monitoring the road projects to ensure their completion on time.
They are looking at ways to lessen the impact of road repairs on businesses and traffic, the mayor said.*
