With the release of the validation results of the national road clearing program, Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) Secretary Eduardo M. Año asked the local government units (LGUs) with low compliance or failed ratings to improve their performance in clearing all public roads from all obstructions.

“Sustained operations are the key to success in the road-clearing operations. You need to exert more effort by eliciting the support of your punong barangays and your constituents. But everything begins with the political will of the mayor,” Año said.

Latest data from the DILG-Bureau of Local Government Supervision revealed that as of October 16, 2019, of the 1,516 validated LGUs, 387 got a high compliance rating, 635 got medium compliance, and 393 got low compliance. He specifically cited Taguig City, which despite its low compliance rating, is committed to implement its “mobility plan” to give residents and visitors quicker and safer travels beyond the 60-day deadline imposed by the DILG.

“That is the kind of attitude that we want. This should be a challenge for LGUs to take the President’s State of the Nation Address directive seriously because at the end of the day, we will all benefit from the law and order brought about by cleared roads,” he noted.
