Just ranting. So this has come to pass, and it seems all is not well:

- DPWH opened up the repair works before the full curing time
imho: they should have left it as is. There are already some reports of cracks along the repaired portions, now we won't know if this is due to insufficient curing time or the contractor's fault. Then we'll need to repair it again, which means more money, more traffic.
The whole point of the reblocking is short term gain, long term gain. i can't help but think all this went to waste by opening up EDSA too early.

(i commute along EDSA daily btw, isa na ako sa natrapik last Wednesday night. )


- DPWH blaming MMDA for delaying the repairwork
imho: again, this sounds a lot like pro-masa politics.

- contractor not finishing on time; heard that a few workers went on leave during Holy Week

imho: there's not much to say here. If it's really their fault, then it's lousy management on their part, and they should at least be made to shoulder the costs of repairs/delays.


Right now i read that DPWH plans to do more major repairwork at the Magallanes interchange, and a stretch of EDSA between Roxas to "at least" Greenhills. There's really not too many long weekends this year(malabo atang magrereblocking sila during Christmas) so i don't know kung kelan nila isisingit to. Baka sa susunod na Holy Week uli?
