    Cancel the contract and let the municipality take over. They are capable since I watched them install a much longer concrete road in Sagbang with municipal supervisors, daily labor and an a portable concrete mixer. Would have been done months ago had they gone that route to begin with.

    They let PhilSouth take on the abysmal road a block parallel and they came in and had the entire elnth concreted inside a few weeks. I guess they didn't get the contract for the trim because that's still torn up. Waiting for workers from Cebu to put in the pavers? Yeah....it's just fine that you have two adjacent parallel blocks closed indefinitely in the commercial/governmental center of the town. Makes perfect sense.

    That was my reaction. Know someone who works in the contracting section of the municipality who explained that they either have no ability to cancel and re-award, or are reluctant too, not sure which. I gather it's a contractor from Bohol.

    Draconian Government lockdowns that isolate Dumaguete from entire provinces are not the fault of the contractors. They are solely the result of the government ordering the lockdowns. Not to say they made improper decisions based on the facts available. Now, these problems and many other negative impacts were known well in advance of the lockdowns but they also knew certain costs would have to be paid in return for the alleged benefits to society. However, I don’t think the contractors should be forced to bear the entire cost either; contracts with them should NOT be broken without just compensation. They deserve any compensation due for prohibition of travel to their work sites. The people of course suffer the most but the pandemic came in through nobody’s fault and the people elected the decision-makers who reacted this way. The people were not without a voice; they elected some very STRICT people as regulators to say the least. Operational decisions perceived by the public as draconian and poorly thought out, as made by governors, mayors and engineering departments may best be judged by their employers, ie the people, who can vote in the future. Could exceptions have been made for projects such as this?

    I'll bet the CCP would love to use this thought.

    Work has been in progress for quite some time. I think people are fully aware of that bit of information. People are interested when that work will be completed.

    Of course, this being the Philippines, absolutely nobody knows when it will be completed, if ever. A typhoon could come and wash the entire project into the ocean...again.

    Hopefully, we should be able to use that bridge by 2021 after covid—but that remains to be seen. This is the Philippines and people have the tendency to do things in slowmo.
