DE Adongay eyes
completion of the 2016 senior high school building projects
Press Release
August 5, 2016
BILIRAN – The
Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) - Biliran District
Engineering Office (BDEO) is target to finish all Senior High School
buildings in the entire province of Biliran by August or September
this year.
District Engineer, David P.
Adongay Jr. during the Kapihan: Pulong-pulong ng Bayan on Radyo Natin
FM said that the target completion of the school building projects
which supposedly be finished by June before opening of classes was
extended due to the failure of the sub-soil exploration test. Engr.
Adongay clarified that the completion of the Senior High School
Buildings are dependent on the result of the subsoil exploration test
and the release of the additional funds.
“Meron kaming mga projects
na nabid-out na but ang nangyari during the subsoil exploration test
ay nagfail, so irere-design namin yan so additional funding yan,
nirequest namin sa higher authorities kasi mag-iiba yung foundation
niya, mas tataas yung volume niya ng concrete at mas lalalim ang
kanyang excavation works so until now hinihintay pa namin yan (release
of funds).”
Engr. Adongay points out
that the main problem in the implementation of school building
projects are the site identified by the DepEd. The district engineer
suggested that DPWH and DepEd should have a joint evaluation and
identification of building sites because its terrain is one to be
considered in the budget allocation.
“Kaya dapat talaga sa
identification palang ma-identified namin kung ano talaga ang dapat
tatrabahuin diyan for example yung leveling, yung scope of work sa
excavation, aside sa subsoil exploration,” Engr. Adongay said.
As of July, 2016, Engr.
Adongay reported that Biliran DEO have already posts 59.43% for the
school building projects. Out of the 30 school buildings projects, 11
are already completed, 4 not yet started, 5 are still on-going and 10
are substantially completed. Adongay explained that they still didn’t
allow classes to hold on those substantially completed buildings to
ensure the safety of teachers and students.
“Nagawa na namin yung revise
kaya lang walang pondo, ang required sa amin ay completion talaga nang
buong building mahirap naman gagawa tayo diyan tapos walang ceiling,
pintura, parang hindi maganda. At least yung dini-deliver namin na
school building yung conducive to learning at maganda talaga,” said
Engr. Adongay.
