๐๐๐๐ | DPWH Secretary Vince Dizon inspected several infrastructure projects in Kalinga, including the Aliog Bridge, a road slip area in Kinama, Rizal, and the ongoing bypass road construction in Dilag, Tabuk City on Monday, June 1, 2026.
During the inspection, Dizon directed contractors and district engineers to fast-track the rehabilitation of the road slip, the completion of the bypass road and the new bridge that will replace the Aliog Bridge, which he said is already 58 years old and can no longer safely accommodate heavy vehicles.
โPinapapunta tayo ni PBBM (President Ferdinand โBongbongโ Marcos Jr.) dito, pinapaikot niya tayo lalo na ngayong magtatag-ulan na, tapos pasukan pa next week so binibilisan nating matapos ang mga proyekto,โ he said.
He also raised concern over the use of sandbags as temporary safety barriers at the road slip, instructing concerned officials to replace it with proper barriers to ensure public safety.
Aside from road and bridge projects, Dizon said the government is also prioritizing the construction of new classrooms.
He earlier visited Liwan West Elementary School, where he noted several issues including a makeshift comfort room, lack of water supply, and the aging school building constructed in the 1980s.
He committed to the rehabilitation and improvement of the facilities before classes resume on June 8, as well as the construction of a new school building within the year.
