NAVAL, Biliran, Jan. 12 (PNA) -- The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Biliran district engineering office (BDEO) ended 2016 with high accomplishment posting of 91.84 percent, surpassing the 85 percent target set by the central office.

DPWH Biliran district engineer David Adongay Jr. revealed that out of the 66 lined-up projects, Biliran completed 62 projects, with four remaining projects ongoing under the regular infrastructure program.
Adongay previously reported that these remaining projects encountered delay due to inclement weather condition in the province that hinders the contractors in smoothly performing their operation, and other problems such as the acquisition of road-right-of-way.
These projects are the PHP45-million construction of slope protection along Biliran Circumferential Road; PHP45 -million construction of Biliran diversion road including slope protection and right of way acquisitions; PHP8.7-million replacement of Banlas Bridge along Maripipi Circumferential Road; and the PHP5-million repair of Biliran Bridge along Leyte-Biliran Road.
Adongay said that those remaining projects will be spilled over on the first quarter of 2017.
“We need to fast-track our implementation of projects, but we have to ensure that projects are in good quality,†Adongay said.
Adongay was recently awarded as Best District Engineer by the DPWH regional office for his invaluable support and high degree of commitment in all the undertakings of the regional office and for consistently rendering his superior performance in the attainment of the department’s mission, vision and strategic objectives.
The Biliran field office ended the year garnering the awards as best in planning and design section, best in financial management section and overall best district engineering office out of 13 district offices in Eastern Visayas. (PNA)
