CITY OF MALOLOS, Bulacan — Pormal na inanunsyo nu’ng Lunes (Dec. 15) ni Secretary Vince Dizon ang appointment ng dalawang bagong top officials ng Bulacan First District Office ng Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH).
Sa meeting na ginanap sa DPWH District Engineering Office (DEO) ng Bulacan, inohayag ni Dizon ang appointment nina officer-in-charge (OIC) District Engineer Kenneth Fernando at OIC Assistant District Engineer Paul Lumabas, pawang nanggaling sa department’s main office sa Port Area, Manila.
“They are the ones we expect to be “fresh blood” that will take over here in the First District of Bulacan. With the hopes of us finding solutions to the problems that we have here. They will be working closely with our technical working group,” saad niya.
“People in Bulacan need solutions. Yes, they want accountability, but they also want solutions because they are suffering everyday for practically six months in a year because they are always flooded here.”
“This is what we will do now, with our new leadership here in the first district of Bulacan, we will give them the full support. It’s symbolic of the changes that we want to make—that the President wants to make in the DPWH,” dagdag pa niya.
Fernando has been part of the agency for 10 years and is part of the second batch of the DWPH Cadet Engineering Program, while Lumabas is from the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) Service at the DPWH central office.
“My only advice to them is not to imitate them, never imitate them. Because if you imitate what happens to them, that’s what will happen to you and I don’t think you want that to happen to you and to your families,” he said.
“Let’s do this right, let’s do it right, let’s change it. What we are doing here at the First DEO of Bulacan is what we will do everywhere,” he added.
Dagdag ni Dizon, magkakaroon rin ng reshuffling sa iba’t iba pang opisina ng DPWH sa buong bansa kung saan iaappoint ang mga “fresh blood” na opisyales.
