00:00President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. has already mentioned the reason for the collapse of the Cabagan-Santa Maria Bridge in the province of Isabela
00:08after he personally witnessed the broken bridge.
00:11This is what Kenneth Paciente reported.
00:15The collapse of the Cabagan-Santa Maria Bridge in the province of Isabela
00:20still happened in its area last month.
00:23This truck is still attached to the broken part of the bridge
00:27while other vehicles and motorcycles are still attached.
00:30That's why the accident happened on the overflow bridge that was passing by.
00:34Teresito was also one of those who was dismayed because instead of properly passing by every day,
00:40he just kept on going back and forth on the road.
00:42It's really a waste of time to travel to work.
00:47So to find out the cause and effect of the incident,
00:50President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. personally inspected
00:53along with the DPWH, Region 2, and Central Office,
00:57even the local officials, the bridge.
00:59After his inspection,
01:01the design flaw or problem with the design is the main reason why the part of the bridge was given.
01:06To be honest,
01:08the estimated value of the bridge was 1.8 billion pesos.
01:12But the use of the bridge was cheaper, that's why the design of the bridge was affected.
01:15It was reduced to under 1 billion pesos to make it cheaper.
01:21The design is really weak.
01:29If you look closely, this is supposed to be a suspension bridge.
01:33The arch is like this and the bridge is supported by a cable.
01:41This is the only suspension bridge that I've seen in the whole world that doesn't have a cable.
01:47And this is where the steel was given.
01:52When he first saw the problem, he had to fix it.
01:56When he first saw the problem, he had to fix it.
02:00The original budget was 900 million pesos,
02:02but it was reduced to 1.2 billion pesos because it was refitted.
02:05Why was it refitted?
02:06When the construction started,
02:08it was already seen that it was moving, that it was weak.
02:11That's why it had to be refitted.
02:14So, the whole process is okay.
02:19But the construction, the contractor, followed the plan.
02:24They did it by the book, up to specifications.
02:28But the specifications were wrong.
02:30That's why the executive board is very concerned because it seems like it's back to zero
02:34because of the need to build the bridge.
02:36We have no choice, we have to go back.
02:38So, what we saved, we saved 1.8 million,
02:44it's useless.
02:45Now, we're going to go back, we're going to spend a lot.
02:49We're going to change the supports,
02:51it's like we're building a new bridge.
02:54But the president assured that he won't let this go unpunished.
02:58However, he needs to solve the problem first and fix the bridge.
03:03I always have a saying, fix the problem,
03:06fix not the blame.
03:08Let's fix the problem first, believe me,
03:10we will find out who is responsible.
03:13Who is responsible is basically who made the design.
03:16Because their design is poor.
03:18Look what happened.
