New deadline

The regional office of the DPWH finally explains the delay of the bridge reconstruction apparently only after their boss in Manila berated them for failing to update the people on the much-delayed project.

I emailed Regional Director Jerome dela Rosa three days ago informing him of this blog. He has not replied yet but he held a hastily arranged presscon yesterday to announce a new deadline ... August.

Part of the explanation for the delay is the difficulty of the contractor's barge to enter the project site. Oh oh, the contractor should have considered this vital matter before participating in the bidding. On this score, the contractor has already shown incompetence.
