And finally, last week, you saw how the floodwaters shredded parts of the Coastal Highway. Panton said that the UDP had the design plans for a climate-resilient highway, but the PUP cut costs to save money. And now Panton says they're seeing the effects.
Tracy Panton, Leader of the Opposition
"We see before our very eyes what happen when you tamper with a project properly designed under the UDP, properly financed under the UDP to ensure we had this climate resilient t infrastructure that we know we need because the climate patterns are changing and we know we're going to have natural disasters that wear heavily on our public infrastructure but Julius Espat and the PUP government grandstand, we're saving 28 million dollars, that the contract was bloated and inflated, because we had built in measures and design infrastructure that would help the highways and roadways of this country to remain robust. Let us see how much we will have to pay to fix it."
