Cabagan-Sta. Maria Bridge

The Cabagan-Sta. Maria Bridge in Isabela collapsed shortly after its completion in February 2025, injuring six people and prompting investigations into the structural integrity of similar infrastructure projects across the Philippines.

Rolando Valeriano called for a congressional probe to address safety concerns and accountability in public works projects. The DPWH formed a special committee to investigate the collapse and determine corrective measures, but Senator Alan Peter Cayetano criticized the department鈥檚 response and called for the resignation of DPWH Secretary Manuel Bonoan.
