In the case of some roads, pina-hold lang ang reblocking until after elections because it's bad for the image of the politico seeking reelection. I'm sure of this because our excavation permit for the water lines in one project was put on hold for so long because the mayor wanted no diggings during election. The irritating issue is if they (the LGU) frakking granted all the permits that were applied for on time instead of dilly-dallying (hint hint), we could have excavated and added the needed water lines with MWSS even BEFORE they started reblocking the road (taena, we started the project and applying for the necessary permits over a year before they even did the reblocking).
