PHOTO: Road to somewhere...further
It took a geographic information system (GIS) satellite photo tracking of the ongoing P300 million Dawel-Pantal-Lucao circumferential road project for the city government to learn, in utter surprise, that the DPWH had arbitrarily revised the originally approved plan for the infrastructure project, taking it further out than it should at much greater cost and right-of-way problems. Who authorized the revision and why it was implemented without due notice to the city is what Mayor Benjamin S. Lim wants to know, even if it reaches the court. (PStar Photo by Butch F. Uka)
