PORAC, Pampanga \u2013 Road rehabilitation usually elicits joy among those that shall reap the benefits from the completed works, like smooth travel, fast delivery of goods and services, convenience and ready access to points of destination.<\/p>\n

Residents of Barangays Sta. Cruz, Sinura and Manibaug here however are up in arms against what has come to be \u201cthe perennial rehabilitation\u201d of the main road connecting his town to Angeles City which traverses the said villages.<\/p>\n

\u201cTaun-taon na lang, wala nang ginawa sa kalsada kundi bakbakin, simentuhin upang kaipala\u2019y muli lamang bakbakin at simentuhin, sa wari\u2019y walang katapusang pag-ikot (Year-in and year-out they scrape the road, cement it only to scrape it and cement it again in what seems to be a never-ending cycle),\u201d lamented a long-time Sta. Cruz resident who asked that he be identified only as \u201cBengco.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bengco said it was at the height of the administration of former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo that the road first underwent \u201ctotal reconstruction.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIpinagparangalan pa noon sa mga tarapal na ang pagpapagawa ng kalsada ay proyekto ni Cong.Mikey Arroyo (It was proudly proclaimed in tarpaulins then that the road construction was a project of Cong. Mikey Arroyo),\u201d Bengco said.<\/p>\n

Despite the hardship of going through unpaved, narrow trails that served as detours, Bengco said the commuters did not complain, content with the thought of travel convenience once the well-paved road was finished.<\/p>\n

Bengco said it took almost a year for the construction, including the curing period, to be completed. <\/p>\n

The initial happiness of the barrio folk however turned to anger when only a month or so after, parts of the road were again scraped, to make way for the construction of drainage canals on both sides of the road.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt muli na naman ang pag-ikot ng mga tao sa makikitid, maalikabok at baku-bakong eskinita parito\u2019t paroon sa Porac at Angeles (Again, it was the circuitous detours through narrow, dusty, unpaved trails for commuters between Poac and Angeles City),\u201d Bengco said.<\/p>\n

From then, residents claimed, there has not been any stop to the repair of patches of the road, greatly inconveniencing them.<\/p>\n

Complaints from Porac residents have swamped the Tapatan radio program of Arnel Panganiban over radio station GVAM-792 located along the Porac-Angeles City Road.<\/p>\n

One caller aired his suspicion that \u201ccertain Porac politicians are (allegedly) benefitting from all the construction.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTrenta porsiyento SOP na lang kada bakbak at repair ng kalsada, minsan sa isang taon, sa isang termino nila ay sulit na. <\/p>\n

Halaga na ng buong proyekto yun (At 30 percent SOP per scrapingand repair work, once every year, they would have gained the worth of one project in one term),\u201d he said. <\/p>\n

Others decried the \u201clack of sensitivity\u201d of the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) to the comfort and convenience of commuters, saying: \u201cBulok ang sistema ng DPWH (the DPWH stinks).\u201d<\/p>\n

Ruperto Cruz, chairman of the advocacy group Pinoy Gumising Ka Movement, who sits as regular discussant in the radio show said: <\/p>\n

\u201cThe Porac Road appears to follow the pattern of roads constructed under the supervision of the DPWH that of being guaranteed to crack in a year\u2019s time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Like the radio station, this paper tried to get the side of the DPWH but failed as of presstime.
