Palace disputes Baste on Davao road opening
Malacañang disputed claims by acting Davao City Mayor Sebastian Duterte that the partial opening of the Davao City Coastal Road Segment B was premature.
Presidential Communications Undersecretary Claire Castro stated that the initial agreement allowed for two of the four lanes to be operational from 6 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Duterte had criticized the opening due to unfinished construction and lack of safety features, such as streetlights and traffic signs.
Castro mentioned that DPWH solar lights installation would be completed in two to three days, allowing passage even at night.
The Palace emphasized the need for LGU cooperation for smooth traffic flow.
The Coastal Road project aims to alleviate traffic congestion by providing a new route connecting southern and downtown Davao City.
