00:00President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. has already mentioned the reason for the collapse of the Cabagan-Santa Maria Bridge in the province of Isabela after personnel were found to have damaged the bridge.
00:10The details of the national news of Kenneth Paciente of PTV Manila, live, Kenneth.
00:17Yes, Joshua, as you can see behind me, the Cabagan-Santa Maria Bridge here in the Cabagan-Isabela province of Camacaylan
00:25was damaged following the collapse of this part of the bridge.
00:29President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. visited this part of the bridge today.
00:36The collapse of the Cabagan-Santa Maria Bridge in the province of Isabela happened in this part of the bridge last month.
00:43This track is still attached to the part of the bridge that was damaged, while other vehicles and motorcycles are still damaged.
00:50That's why the accident happened on the overflow bridge that was passing by.
00:54Teresito was also one of those who was dismayed because instead of a good road that was passing by every day,
01:00it was just a mess on a bumpy road.
01:02There was no permission to travel to work.
01:07That's why to find out the cause and effect of the incident,
01:10President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. personally inspected,
01:13together with the DPWH, Region 2, and Central Office,
01:17the local officials.
01:19After his inspection,
01:21design flaw or problem in the design is the main reason why the part of the bridge was damaged.
01:26To be honest, the amount of the fund is 1.8 billion Pesos.
01:31But it was used in a cheaper way, that's why the design of the bridge was affected.
01:35It was reduced to under 1 billion Pesos so that it can be cheap.
01:41Now, the detailed design was done.
01:45The design is really weak.
01:48If you look at it, this is supposed to be a suspension bridge.
01:52It's attached.
01:53The arch is like this.
01:55The bridge is supported by a cable.
02:01This is the only suspension bridge that I've seen in the whole world that doesn't have a cable.
02:06And that's the one that was given.
02:09That's where the steel was given.
02:12When he first saw the problem, he had to fix it.
02:16At first, the original budget was 900 million Pesos.
02:22It was reduced to 1.2 billion Pesos because it was refitted.
02:25Why was it refitted?
02:26When the construction started, he saw that it was moving, that it was weak.
02:31That's why it had to be refitted.
02:34So, the whole process is okay.
02:39The construction, the contractor, followed the plan.
02:44He did it by the book, up to the specifications.
02:48But the specifications were wrong.
02:50That's why the Punong Ejecutivo is very concerned because it seems like it's back to zero
02:54because of the need to build the bridge.
02:56We have no choice. We have to go back.
02:58So, what we saved, we saved 1.8 million Pesos.
03:03It's useless.
03:05Now, we're going to go back.
03:07We're going to spend a lot.
03:09We're going to change the supports.
03:11It's like we're building a new bridge.
03:14But the President assured that he won't let this go unpunished.
03:18However, he needs to solve the problem first and fix the bridge.
03:23I always have a saying, fix the problem, fix not the blame.
03:28Let's fix the problem first.
03:30Believe me, we will find out who is responsible.
03:33Who is responsible is basically who made the design.
03:36Because their design is poor.
03:38Look what happened.
03:40In front of the camera, the Makabayan Blok is also investigating the issue
03:44regarding their House Resolution 2249.
03:48This is to find out if there was corruption or negligence in the incident.
03:54Joshua, in the Palace Press Briefing earlier,
03:57the PCO Undersecretary and Palace Press Officer, Atty. Claire Castro said
04:01that one of the suggestions of the government is to inspect all the bridges in the country.
04:07Joshua, this is to avoid incidents like this
04:11and to ensure that all the bridges are safe for all Filipinos to use.
04:16Joshua.
04:18Thank you very much, Kenneth Paciente.
