From the Manila, Philippines report, the combined impact of the southwest monsoon and tropical cyclones Crising, Dante, and Emong has resulted in over PHP5 billion in damage to public infrastructure in eight regions, the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) said Friday.
In a statement, Secretary Manuel Bonoan, citing data from the Bureau of Maintenance said, as of Friday noon, there was an estimated PHP5.25 billion damage to bridges, national roads and flood control projects in the Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR), Ilocos Region, Cagayan Valley, Central Luzon, Calabarzon, Miraropa, Western Visayas and Negros Island Region (NIR).
The report said that of the figure, the highest recorded damage was at PHP4.19 billion in flood control structures, followed by PHP913.02 million in national roads, and damage to bridges amounting to PHP148.48 million. The figures are still subject to field validation.
In addition, the DPWH reported that 19 national road sections are still closed to traffic in CAR, Ilocos Region, Central Luzon, and Calabarzon due to fallen trees and electrical cables, debris flow, soil collapse, debris on bridge deck, fallen lamp posts, road slip, collapsed slope protection, and flooding.
