00:00We already inspected it. Secretary Mano Gunawan is here so I can explain what happened here.
00:08The ending of this, the control of this, is a design flaw.
00:15It is a design flaw. The design is wrong.
00:18The history of this, the funding of this was supposed to be, the project cost of this is 1.8 billion.
00:30So they reduced it to under 1 billion to make it cheaper.
00:36There, they fixed it. They did the detailed design.
00:40The design is really weak.
00:44Because if you look at it, this is supposed to be a suspension bridge. It is attached.
00:49The arch is like this and the bridge is supported by a cable.
00:57This is the only suspension bridge that I have seen in the whole world that is not a cable.
01:02And that is the one that gave the steel.
01:08If it is a cable, it should not be given.
01:11This is the anchor of the support.
01:14If you look at it from below, it should be from top to bottom.
01:18It should be from top to bottom.
01:20This is the only thing that supports it.
01:24This is the only thing that supports it.
01:29This is the only thing that supports the whole bridge.
01:32So the design here is really weak.
01:35When they were first doing this, the original budget reached P900 million.
01:43It reached P1.2 million because it refitted.
01:46Why did it refit?
01:47When they were still constructing, they saw that it was moving, that it was weak.
01:52That is why it had to be refitted.
01:55So the whole process is okay.
02:00The construction, the contractor followed the plan.
02:05They did it by the book, up to specifications.
02:09But the specifications are wrong.
02:11So this is a design problem.
02:14This is a 44-ton bridge.
02:18It should have 44 tons of acceptable load.
02:21Those two trucks, the one that was left behind,
02:24it was over 100 tons.
02:26Those two trucks passed through.
02:28That's why...
02:30That's what happened.
02:32It really can't do it.
02:33I think this is the first one.
02:35It doesn't have a plate anymore.
02:37This one?
02:39No, they just followed it.
02:41This is the first one?
02:43This is the first one.
02:45Yes, that's right.
02:47That's why it's like that.
02:50That's right.
02:51This is what they gave.
02:52That's why they did all of this.
02:54So, we have no choice.
02:57We have to go back.
02:59So what we were saving,
03:01we were saving P1.8 million.
03:03Useless.
03:05Now, we're going to go back.
03:07We're going to spend a lot.
03:09We're going to change the supports.
03:11It's like we're building a new life.
03:14Well, you know,
03:17I always have a saying,
03:18fix the problem,
03:20fix not the blame.
03:22Let's fix the problem first.
03:24Believe me.
03:25We'll find out who is responsible.
03:27Who is responsible is basically
03:29who made the design.
03:31Because their design is poor.
03:33Look what happened.
03:35And then also,
03:37those trucks should never have been on the bridge.
03:39So, who is responsible?
03:41Robbins?
03:43No.
03:46Rational.
03:48We have to be more careful about monitoring.
03:52Partly.
03:54Because that's the problem.
03:57If they're saying 44 tons,
04:00you're going to load 200 plus tons.
04:03It's a bit unexpected that this will happen.
04:15You
