‘MAINTENANCE PA MORE BUDGET?’ Sen. Alan Peter Cayetano noted that the proposed P256.7-billion funding for “maintenance and rehabilitation” dwarfed the DPWH’s P140-billion allocation for new public infrastructure next year. READ:
He noted that DPWH’s “asset preservation program,” a technical term for maintenance and rehabilitation, only had half of the budget for “network development program” in the General Appropriations Acts of 2019, 2020 and 2021.
He acknowledged that the projects intended for maintenance works originated from the Duterte administration that began in 2016.With the way the DPWH apportioned its share of the budget for 2023, it seemed to be more concerned about repair works, Cayetano said, adding that this was inconsistent with Mr. Marcos’ directive.
Cayetano also questioned why the DPWH was seeking a total funding of P1.5 billion for maintenance even for newly constructed foreign-assisted projects.
