DPWH under fire for Facebook 'photoshopping' | ABS-CBN News | Latest Philippine Headlines, Breaking News, Video, Analysis, Features

MANILA, Philippines - The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) caught the ire of social media and blogs Thursday for allegedly poorly fabricating a photo uploaded on its Facebook page.

The image, allegedly altered through popular editing program Photoshop, showed DPWH Undersecretary Romeo Momo with Metro Manila Regional Director Reynaldo Tagudando and South Manila District Engineer Mikunug Macud talking, with the damaged Manila Bay seawall in the background.

The 3 officials seem to be floating on air in the fabricated photo.

Pierre Albert San Diego, a civil engineer, pointed out the discrepancies in his blog, Controlled Chaos.

"I re-checked the image and concluded that DPWH fabricated this picture. Why they had to edit it and not just simply compose a photo with all three guys, I do not know," he said. "Although my evil mind tells me that the DPWH wants a pogi photo showing their bosses in deep thought while assessing the disaster site, and they didn’t have the opportunity to pose because those guys were probably there for 15 minutes max – so they just lasso tooled the hell out of that pic."

"Some say this is a very minor issue, but I see this is as a nice sample of DPWH’s lack of integrity. If they can fabricate simple things like this, just imagine what these guys can do to progress billings and acceptance of projects," San Diego added. "Also, while relatively mild, isn’t this a classic example of 'Utak Wangwang?' While unethical and unnecessary, they thought they could get away with fabricating photos so they tried to."

The DPWH Central Office's Facebook administrators have deleted the fabricated photo and uploaded new images, presumably unaltered.

However, the department continued to receive flak on the social media site because of the Photoshop faux pas.

"Nakakahiya kayo! Nagphophotoshop pa ng litrato na peke," said Arthur Espiritu.

"Bakit ba hinahayaan nyo yung ganito dapat may managot sa picture na iyon panloloko yun! Pati ba naman report dadayain pa. Di tama iyan. Paano pa tayo pagkakatiwalaan ng taong bayan kung yung picture nga na simpleng bagay dinadaya," said Allan Olimpo Almarines.

"Hahahaha akala nyo di kami marunong ng Photoshop," said YumiZuki Oshiro.

The DPWH Central Office has apologized over the altered photo.

"We apologize for the photo release... it was not cleared yet before the staff posted it. It was already replaced," said a page administrator post signed by DPWH public information department chief Beth Pilorin.

Philippines Department of Public Works and Highways officials were left red-faced Thursday after it was discovered they had Photoshopped three officials into a typhoon cleanup Photo.


A careful look at the images of the three officials shows they were likely dragged into the scene via Photoshop. (Image via Facebook) Typhoon Nesat struck the Philippines on Tuesday, killing 31 people, displacing 60,000 families, and leaving a trail of destruction in its wake. The disaster’s cost is estimated at nearly $23 million.

In the cleanup photo, the three officials appeared to be assessing the damage of the typhoon, but one discerning blogger and civil engineer noticed that something didn’t seem quite right.

A careful look at the photo shows that the officials seem to be floating in mid-air, and that their images were likely dragged into the scene using Photoshop’s lasso tool.

The department has taken down the photos and issued an apology on its https://www.facebook.com/dpwhco/posts/237212866327710 Facebook:

We would like to apologize to Undersecretary Romeo Momo, Director Rey Tagudando and District Engineer Mikunug Macud for whatever inconvenience that may have caused them regarding the photo earlier posted. Rest assured that we shall exert more diligence and prudence in the execution of our mandate to inform the public of our plans, programs, projects and official activities.

Some have reacted to the photos in anger, including the blogger who discovered the fakery. Pierre San Diego wrote: “If there’s one thing I hate it’s people that fabricate their inspection reports... If the inspection report is erroneous, this might lead to a wrong and/or costly design... and worse, not prepare others from potential safety risks of the site.”

Scores of others took to chastising the officials in another way — by Photoshopping them into dozens of other photos where they didn’t belong. Below, a few of our favorite photos from what is now being called “The Great DPWH Photoshop Meme.”

^ pag may storm surge masisira din yan.
why not build a breakwater structure na lang to suppress those giant waves pag may bagyo?

[ghosthunter]

The proposed seawall is ugly, useless in another storm surge and will just be a collecting point for garbage. A standard breakwater would be better.
