Mayor Vico welcomes DPWH project list, pushes for more transparency

Pasig City Mayor Vico Sotto said the newly launched SumbongSaPan-gulo.ph website has provided a long-awaited list of flood control projects in the city, but emphasized the need for more detailed documents to ensure proper monitoring.

In a social media post on Sunday, August 24, the city mayor said the development is “a good start” in improving information flow between the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) and local governments.

“Through the said website, we now have a list of project titles, costs, completion dates, and locations. Malaking hakbang na rin ito kasi madalas kulang talaga info ng LGU sa DPWH projects, lalo na pag UPMO project,” the mayor said.

He noted, however, that the available information was not enough to assess the completeness or quality of the flood control projects.
