“Kung may maiguguhit po tayo na maayos na blueprint na pinagtutulungan ng ating mga eksperto, matitiyak po natin na magpalit man ang pangulo o administrasyon ay may iisang plano na tayo susundan, maiba man ang engineer, foreman o karpintero ay may pangkalahatang gabay na pagbubuo ng mga pangarap,”“Probably, this is a result of our political system as well.
Apart from passing a land use act, Uy also said there is a need for some flexibility when it comes to technology. He said legislating a long-term infrastructure plan should allow the government to adopt better technologies in undertaking projects.The Neda official also stressed the need for flexibility in terms of funding sources in the proposed legislation.
“If we become an upper middle income country, we may have to graduate to less concessional development assistance kaya we have to have alternative funding strategies. So, we cannot rely on the usual very concessional funding from Japan or other developed countries,” Uy said. He cited the frequent reblocking of roads that are still in good condition and the implementation of road widening projects that inflict damage on urban drainage systems as symptoms of this “cancer.”
“We are here today to help our government craft a long-term infrastructure development master plan by providing legislative guidelines to ensure continuity of high-quality integrated infrastructure projects,” he added.
