LEGAZPI CITY -- Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Secretary Rogelio L. Singson urged yesterday employees of the department to continue improving the quality of life and future of Bicolanos by constructing the right projects at the right price with the right quality.

In his Christmas message read for him by DPWH regional director Danilo E. Dequito during the Christmas program of the regional office, Singson said “As we celebrate this season of hope, let us seriously reflect on what we have done in the past years, and ponder on what we must change to restore integrity and dignity in public service.”

“We must collectively continue to respond to commit ourselves to the call of President Benigno Aquino III to walk the straight path or “Tuwid na Landas!” program.” Singson added.

The DPWH Secretary also challenge the DPWH work force to look beyond their current methods and practices and adopt better standards and methodologies, thus producing well-defined proactive role in the implementation of President Aquino’s vision of full transparency and accountability to the people.

“There will be difficult challenges as well as opportunities ahead for all of us. Indeed the dawning of “daylight” has begun.” Singson stressed.

Secretary Singson according to director Dequito was confirmed by the Commission on Appointments yesterday. (Ed de Leon/PIA)
