Marcos postpones rehab of Manila's major circle road for a month
MANILA: President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on Sunday (June 1) announced the postponement of the rehabilitation of the Epifanio delos Santos Avenue (Edsa), Manila's main thoroughfare, for a month.
This was confirmed by Transportation Secretary Vince Dizon during the launch of the Pamilya Pasa promo.
'He said 'Go back to the drawing board' because he has listened to the concerns of the residents of Metro Manila,' Dizon told reporters.
'And he has also listened to experts who have informed him that there are more effective ways and new technologies that we can do faster,' Dizon added.
The project, or what the government deemed as Edsa rebuild, was originally set to start mid-June. However, Dizon said that the president instructed them to revamp their plan within a month. - Philippine Daily Inquirer/ANN
