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.
