DPWH indefinitely suspends road reblocking nationwide
The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) has indefinitely suspended all road reblocking activities nationwide due to suspicions of corruption.
DPWH Secretary Vince Dizon announced the suspension, citing a high likelihood of anomalies in such projects.
Dizon expressed concern that some road reblocking projects are unnecessary and may be exploited for financial gain through demolition and reconstruction.
He cited the road reblocking in Bocaue, Bulacan, as an example of a well-paved road that was unnecessarily reblocked.
Bocaue is under the 1st District Engineering Office of Bulacan, which has been under scrutiny for alleged collusion in anomalous flood control projects.
