DPWH to file raps against Hi-Tone Construction over damaged coastal dike
The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) will file charges against Hi-Tone Construction and Development Corporation for damages to the Navotas City Coastal Dike.
A dredging barge owned by Hi-Tone Construction damaged the dike in October 2024 during Typhoon Kristine.
The breach is blamed for worsening flooding in seaside communities, particularly in Barangay Bagong Bayan North, during Super Typhoon Uwan.
DPWH Secretary Vince Dizon announced that the agency will undertake the reconstruction of the damaged dike.
Charges will be filed to hold Hi-Tone Construction accountable and recover the expenses for the dike's repair.
