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.
