Preventing Another Breakage of Coastal Road

Preventing Another Breakage of Coastal Road
Portions of the Coastal Plain Road crumbled under heavy flooding two weeks ago, and while a lot of it was blamed on deforestation, a lot was also blamed on the government. Some have accused the government of compromising quality for savings, but when we got a chance to speak with the Minister of Infrastructure Development and Housing, Julius Espat on Friday, he said that the contract for that project was signed long before they got in. Espat also said that what we do with the environment contributes to the consequences we are enduring now. He also said that the ministry’s engineers are now looking at how they can prevent a recurrence of the breakage.
