By MANILA, Philippines — Public Works Secretary Vince Dizon announced on Monday that he will sign a new department order making the appointments and promotions of Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) officials “performance-based” rather than reliant on political referrals.
“If there is a damaged road, potholes, or a broken flood-control structure, repairs and maintenance must be fast and of good quality. If they fail in this, they will be removed and immediately replaced,” Dizon said in Filipino.
