(Eagle News) — Bataan is still experiencing heavy rains brought by the enhanced southwest monsoon or habagat, which has damaged many roads and bridges in the province, according to the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH).
DPWH 2nd District Engr. Ulysses Llado said that one of the bridges that were damaged was the Roman Superhighway or the Bataan Provincial Expressway.
Llado said that this was the first time that the rains have lasted for more than a month.
“Araw-araw sa mahigit isang buwan ay nakararanas kami ng mga pag-ulan dito. Ngayon ko lang naranasan ito at siguro pati ang mga taga-Bataan ay ngayon lamang nakaranas ng ganitong tindi ng pag-ulan,” Llado said in an interview over Net 25’s Agila Balita Alas Dose.
Meanwhile, the official said that with the help of the contractors and their effort to repair roads, they are able to ensure the safety of motorists.
“Pinangako naman ng mga contractor natin na talagang 24 hours nakabantay sila sa mga project nila at kung may mga problema ay mabilis nilang naaksiyunan,” he added.
