Tacloban City— The Maintenance Section of the Tacloban City District Engineering Office (TCDEO), in collaboration with the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Bureau of Maintenance (BOM) and Regional Office VIII, conducts a site inspection and validation of key areas in Tacloban City on September 05, 2024.
The inspection team, led by Engr. Elizar Jerome T. Baclea-an and Engr. Jonas F. Postrero of TCDEO, was joined by BOM Representative Engr. Thomas Dominic A. Maloles and RO Representative Engr. Jumar P. Villamor. The team inspected and validated the Burayan River in Barangay 109-A and the Tigbao River in Barangay 94, Tacloban City.
The primary objective of the site inspection and validation was to validate the submitted priority list for the repair and maintenance of flood control and drainage structures for CY 2025. Once the validation is complete, the areas identified for repair and maintenance will be considered for funding.
“The site inspection and validation are crucial for assessing the problems encountered in our local rivers. By thoroughly evaluating these sites, we ensure that necessary repairs are handled efficiently and effectively, ultimately improving the safety and functionality of our waterways,” remarked District Engineer Rebecca G. Yuse.
