DPWH vows to remove campaign materials posted in traffic signs
PALO, Leyte – The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) vowed to immediately remove campaign materials posted in traffic signs, which was designed to guide motorists and prevent road accidents.
DPWH Regional Director Angelito M. Twaño said that they are helpless in stopping people from posting materials in road signs considering that most of the operations are being done at night.
“Let’s face it; nobody can prevent them from posting everywhere. After that, we will remove it. This problem is not preventable because they do their operation at midnight. If we will do on the spot inspection, it would trigger arguments,” Twaño said in a recent media interview.
Twaño, a known ally of the present administration, said that they will take actions fairly to all candidates, whose campaign ads covers vital traffic structures.
“I am sure that we will demolish materials not posted in a proper place they be administration or opposition candidate,” he added.
The directive to monitor placement of campaign materials in national roads was issued before the kick off of campaign for candidates running for national positions.
Meanwhile, the DPWH regional chief assured that all road potholes in national highways will be eliminated with the onset of dry season.
“I have my policy in Region 8 that immediately after the rains, I want them to operate under operation zero potholes,” Twaño claimed.
The prolonged rain in the region last year and delayed budget released were identified by the infrastructure agency as the major reasons that further delays road rehabilitation works especially in Eastern Samar. (SARWELL Q. MENIANO)
