PUBLIC Works Secretary Vince Dizon on Wednesday ordered the fast-tracking of repairs on critical infrastructure in Davao Oriental that were damaged by a magnitude 7.4 earthquake last October.
Dizon said they are prioritizing the restoration of essential facilities such as schools, hospitals, and municipal buildings, following President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s directive to speed up rehabilitation efforts.

“It is important to complete these facilities immediately so that local government services can continue, especially in responding to disasters and emergencies,” Dizon said.
He said there is the need for swift but sturdy reconstruction, adding that many residents rely on these facilities for basic services.
