00:00President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr. himself inspected the fallen statue in Isabela.
00:06According to the President, there was a problem with its design.
00:10But instead of teaching now, the Executive Board decided to address the problem so that it won't happen again.
00:18Kenneth Pacientes is in the center of the news.
00:22The fall of the St. Maria Bridge in the province of Isabela happened last month.
00:31This truck seems to be still attached to the damaged part of the bridge.
00:35While other vehicles and motorcycles are still damaged.
00:39The damaged bridge was personally inspected by President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr.
00:44along with the DPWH Region 2 and Central Office,
00:48as well as the local officials.
00:50And after his inspection, the design flaw or problem with the design is the main reason why the part of the bridge was given.
00:58To be honest, the value of the fund for this project is 1.8 billion pesos.
01:03But the use of the fund is lower, so the design of the bridge was affected.
01:08It was reduced to under 1 billion pesos to make it cheaper.
01:14The design is really weak.
01:21If you look closely, this is supposed to be a suspension bridge.
01:26The arch is like this, and the bridge is supported by a cable.
01:34This is the only suspension bridge that I have seen in the world that does not have a cable.
01:39And this is where the steel was given.
01:44When he first saw this problem, he had to fix it.
01:49When we first did this, the original budget was 900 million pesos.
01:54It reached 1.2 million pesos because it was refitted.
01:57Why was it refitted?
01:58When the construction started, it was already seen that it was moving, that it was weak.
02:03That's why it had to be refitted.
02:06So, the whole process is okay.
02:11The construction, the contractor, followed the plan.
02:16By the book, what they did was up to the specifications.
02:20But the specifications were wrong.
02:22That's why the Executive Board is very worried because it seems like back to zero.
02:26The bridge will need to be rebuilt.
02:29We have no choice. We have to go back.
02:31So, what we saved, we saved 1.8 million.
02:36Useless.
02:37Now, we will go back. We will spend a lot.
02:41We will change the supports. We will change it.
02:44It's like we built a new bridge.
02:46But he promised that he will not let this go unpunished.
02:50But he needs to address the problem first and fix the bridge.
02:54Well, you know, I always have a saying,
02:57Fix the problem, fix not the blame.
03:01Let's fix the problem first.
03:03Believe me, we will find out who is responsible.
03:06Who is responsible is basically who made the design.
03:09Because their design was poor.
03:11Look what happened.
03:13The construction of the Cabagan-Santa Maria Bridge started in November 2014
03:17and ended in February 1, 2025, with a total cost of 1.22 billion pesos.
03:24From Cabagan, Isabela, Kenneth Paciente for Pambansang TV in Bagong, Philippines.
