DEPARTMENT of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Secretary Rogelio Singson has reiterated the strict enforcement of his previous order (Department Order No. 39) prohibiting political billboards to be installed 100 meters before and after all projects of the DPWH.
Similar political billboards are also not allowed in between the project limits or within the road right-of-way. In addition, DPWH contractors shall not be allowed to place names or pictures of politicians on their equipment or carry political billboard on their equipment; otherwise, these contractors shall also be held accountable.
This order of the DPWH, however, is blatantly violated in Leyte 4th District as tarpaulins of Rep. Lucy Torres-Gomez are found in all major road projects to mislead the public or give the false impression that the ongoing repairs are done through the lady solon’s efforts.
