MANILA, Philippines — Scores of lawmakers including two senators, as well as middle-level officials and personnel of the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) have proposed projects worth P5.3 billion for this year to the corruption-tainted Road Board. Commenting on the list, the PBA representative said, “I have referred many projects nationwide to all agencies including Road Board. Andaya had said the House recalled the bill because President Duterte wanted the Road Board to be retained. Director Danilo Dequito of Region IV-B proposed projects worth P293.5 million for Palawan, while Ador Canlas of Cebu had P167 million in project proposals. Some P218 million worth of projects are listed under director Edgar Tabacon of Samar-Leyte and district engineer Margarita Junia.
