CEBU CITY, Philippines — A group of private haulers has started to backfill the several meters-deep excavation site of the scrapped Cebu Provincial Resource Center project at the Cebu Capitol
Lawyer Frank Eduard Dinsay, chief of staff of Governor Gwendolyn Garcia, revealed on Thursday, August 15, that at least thirty trucks of soil have been dumped inside the project site since Wednesday, August 14.
The soil dumped so far at the site was barely two percent of what was needed to completely cover the hole because based on the estimate of the Provincial Engineering Office, it would need at least 18,000 cubic meters of soil to backfill the property and restore it to ground level. Mantinquilla also said that Garcia wanted to complete the backfilling as soon as possible in the wake of the recent construction safety issues in Cebu City.Last August 5, a portion of a four-story building in Barangay Kamputhaw collapsed when the nearby excavation for a condominium project caved in and damaged the adjoining property. The affected building used to house the Social Security System office.
