What has Build, Build, Build achieved so far?

Episode 7: The President’s instructions were clear from the onset: Finish as many “Build, Build, Build” projects as possible in the soonest possible time. Whoever gets the credit is none of our business. Five years after, DPWH, under Secretary Villar, has completed a total of 29,264 kilometers of roads, 5,950 bridges, 11,340 flood control projects, 222 evacuation centers, 89 Tatag ng Imprastraktura Para sa Kapayapaan at Seguridad (TIKAS) projects and 150,149 classrooms, and 653 COVID-19 facilities has also been built under the “Build, Build, Build” program.

Sofa in the Drainage

Episode 6: Out of the 171 countries assessed in the 2016 World Risk Report, the Philippines ranked 3rd most exposed to natural hazards. According to PAGASA, the Philippines is visited by at least 20 tropical cyclones every year. Just last week, heavy rains brought about by tropical storm Karding led to the evacuation of at least 50,000 individuals after Marikina River’s water level peaked at 20.6 meters (as compared to 23 m during Ondoy). During the clean-up operations that followed, I was surprised to see all sorts of garbage, from sofa to refrigerators inside our drainage canals — sediments that impede the natural flow of water.

21 Things You Need to Know About the EDSA Decongestion Masterplan

Episode 5: If the Philippines is to achieve its full potential, then it must do something to cut losses due to traffic congestion in Metro Manila, which had gone up to P3.5 billion a day. It was at this point that Secretary Mark Villar presented the plan to decongest the 90-year-old EDSA, a 23.8-km circumferential highway which has long exceeded its maximum capacity of 288,000 vehicles a day. The plan was not well received at the onset. Few believed it can be done. Four years after — with the completion of several big-ticket projects in Metro Manila, including the Skyway Stage 3, the NLEX Harbor Link, the Radial Road 10 Spur Link, the Laguna Lake Highway, the promise of returning EDSA back to its 1930 form is within arm’s reach.
