Critics describe the state of the 173-kilometer highway as dire, and the worst in the Zamboanga Peninsula region, if not in Mindanao.
ZAMBOANGA DEL NORTE, Philippines – The head of the 2nd Engineering District of the Department of Public Works and Highways in Zamboanga del Norte called for additional funds to maintain a more than 170-kilometer highway in the province.
For two years, the 173.78-kilometer highway from Dipolog City to the village of Talinga in Sindangan town, Zamboanga del Norte, has been the subject of complaints from motorists due to its numerous potholes. Maniri said the maintenance funds for the highway have been gradually reduced since he assumed his post in January 2021, with a reduction of 74% so far. The district office had P35 million for maintenance in 2021, which was reduced to P27 million in 2022, and further lowered to P18 million in 2023.
Zamboanga del Norte provincial board member Michael Documento noted that efforts to rehabilitate the highway dragged on because of frequent rain and flooding in the province. Of the P5.268 trillion General Appropriations Act signed by President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on December 16, 2022, the DPWH received P893 billion.
