Iduso na ngadto sa Ombudsman sa Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) ug Independent Commission for Infrastructure (ICI) ang resulta sa ilang imbestigasyon sa mga iregularidad sa flood control projects sa Cebu.

Banat File Photo

CEBU, Philippines — Andam na nga iduso ngadto sa Office of the Ombudsman sa bulan sa Enero ang findings ug mga case referrals sa Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) ug Independent Commission for Infrastructure (ICI) may kalabotan sa ilang imbestigasyon sa mga iregularidad sa flood control projects sa Cebu.

Kaning maong mga gikwestyon nga flood control projects napublikar og maayo tungod mao ni ang mga gitudlong hinungdan sa grabeng pagbaha atol sa pag-igo sa Bagyong Tino sa miaging buwan.

Si Public Works Secretary Vince Dizon atol sa usa ka press conference sa Manila niadtong Huwebes mibutyag nga nahuman na ang ICI sa ilang mga report ug mga rekomendasyon.

Matud pa niya, duna gyuy mga manubag nga mga opisyales luyo aning mga palpak, substandard nga mga flood control projects sa Cebu.

Human sa kadaot nga gidala sa Bagyong Tino, gihimo sa ICI ug DPWH ang inspeksiyon sa nagkalain-laing flood control projects sa probinsya.

Giila sa DPWH nga ang pipila sa mga proyekto gihimo sa mga kontraktor nga apil sa top 15 nga gihisgutan ni Presidente Ferdinand Marcos Jr. nga kinahanglang subayon.

Ang giinspeksiyon  naglakip sa mga proyekto sa Barangay Tabok ug Barangay Alang-alang sa Mandaue City ubay sa Butuanon River, Barangay Tamiao ug Purok Gemelina sa Munisipyo sa Compostela, Barangay Cotcot sa Liloan, Salinas Drive sa Barangay Lahug sa Cebu City,  Mananga Bridge sa Talisay City, ug Dumlog Bridge sa Barangay Biasong, Talisay City.

Ang inspeksyon gipangulohan ni ICI special adviser General Rodolfo Azurin Jr.

Si Marcos miinspeksyon dinhi sa Sugbu human sa bagyong Tino ug mimando sa paghimo og imbestigasyon aning mga flood control projects nga mao untay proteksyon sa mga tawo kun magbaha apan wala mapahimusli.

Ang bagyong Tino maoy nakapalig-on sa mga una nang gipagawas nga pamahayag ni Marcos atol sa iyang State of the Nation Address nga dunay daghang flood control projects sa gobiyerno nga giapilan og binuang.

Tungod ani, gimando niya ang pagpaimbestigar sa tanang flood control ug infrastructure projects sulod sa nakalabay nga napulo ka tuig nga ang gipasabot gikan sa 2015-2025.

Apil ang katapusang tuig sa termino ni kanhi presidente Benigno “PNoy” Aquino III ug kanhi presidente Rodrigo Duterte ug tulo ka tuig ubos sa termino ni PBBM.

## **Dugang Tawo**

Sa laing bahin, gipahibalo usab ni Dizon nga maglusad ang DPWH og lapad nga recruitment drive sa mga eskuylahan sa tibuok nasod sugod Enero 2026.

Ang ahensya magpahigayon og mga job fair sa mga unibersidad ug kolehiyo sa lain-laing rehiyon sa nasod.

Gipasabot ni Dizon nga mangita ang DPWH og bag-ong mga enhinyero ug accountants aron mapalig-on ang ahensya.

Iyang giila nga ang pagbag-o sa DPWH magdepende sa kalidad sa mga tawo nga mosulod sa serbisyo publiko, ug gidasig ang kabatan-onan nga moapil isip bahin sa reporma sa ahensya.

Giingon usab ni Dizon nga gamiton sa DPWH ang diwa sa patriotism ug idealism sa kabatan-onan aron maaghat sila sa pag-apil bisan pa og naguba na og maayo ang imahe sa ahensya tungod sa mga alegasyon sa korapsyon nga may kalabotan sa flood control projects.

Ang tumong ani nga makabaton og bag-ong kusog ug integridad ang DPWH pinaagi aning mga bag-ong ma hire nga mga kawani nga makatabang aron mobalik ang pagsalig sa publiko.

Ang maong proyekto nahuman 20 ka tuig na ang nilabay apan kulang kini og authorization gikan sa PRA ug presidential approval.

The STAR / Michael Varcas

CEBU, Philippines — Nasayran sa Commission on Audit (COA) nga ang usa ka reclamation project sa Lungsod sa Alcantara nga nagkantidad og P3.51 milyones ang gitukod nga walay pagtugot gikan sa Philippine Reclamation Authority.

Ang maong proyekto nahuman 20 ka tuig na ang nilabay apan kulang kini og authorization gikan sa PRA ug presidential approval.

Matud sa state auditors nga kalapasan kini sa executive order 67 ug nagrisgo nga forfeit ang maong proyekto pabor sa national government.

Ang maong reclamation area gitukoran og nagkadaiyang pasilidad sa lungsod sama sa civic center, municipal hall building, admin hall building, command center building, Municipal Social Welfare and Developmen Office (MSWDO) building, senior citizen building, gazebo, public comfort rooms, LED wall storage room, day care center, multi-purpose building, barangay hall ug cell site tower.

Nasayran sab sa audit team nga ang portion sa maong luna gi classify nga forestlands ug gigamit sa munisipyo nga walay permit gikan sa Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) ug sukwahi sa Revised Forestry Code.

Base sa dokumento nga giluwatan sa DENR, penetsahan niadtong Agosto 2, 2004, duha ka luna nga gihimong reclamation nga adunay combined area nga 9,600 square meters ang giingong forestland.

Matud sa COA nga walay Land Use Agreement (FLAg) o Gratutitous Special Permit (GSUP) gikan sa DENR ang maong paggamit sa luna.

Ubos sa balaod ang forest lands kabahin sa public domain nga dili mamahimong ma-occupy o ma-develop nga walay authorization sama sa FLAG ug GSUP.

Base sa audit nasuta nga walay resolusyon gikan sa Sangguniang Bayan, PRA approval ug DENR permit nga nag-cover sa maong reclamation project.

Rekomendasyon sa COA ngadto sa LGU nga mosumite og formal justification, mo-coordinate sa PRA alang sa remedy sa maong isyu ug makig-alayon sa DENR aron makakuha og permit aron malikayan nga masilotan ang lungsod.

Ang LGU nisaad usab nga motuman sa rekomendasyon sa COA.
