For his part, Sen. Francis Tolentino noted the Gapan school cited by Padilla may not be an isolated case as he saw many damaged infrastructures in Gen. Tinio and San Leonardo in Nueva Ecija a week after the typhoon hit. He advised the DPWH to inspect these areas.
Tulfo also asked Bonoan to stop the current practice of sub-contracting infrastructure projects which often results to substandard roads that are prone to accidents. In effect, the budget available for the third contractor would be small and not enough to make quality projects. He also said that if the agency encountered problems with the private sector regarding their projects, they get job order to fill up the lack in manpower.
He said there were also 437 projects amounting to P10.9 billion that were not started at all as well as 12 foreign-assisted projects that were restructured.
