We wish Sec. Vince Dizon well and pray for his success as he takes on the formidable task of leading the Department of Public Works and Highways. The challenges before him are immense—but so is the opportunity to institute long-overdue reforms in the agency.
The hands-on approach and fresh perspective he brings will serve him well in confronting the deeply entrenched problems that have long plagued the DPWH. Rooting out corruption is just the first step, because equally important is ensuring that all DPWH projects serve their purpose and truly improve the lives of our countrymen.
The Senate stands ready to support the reforms Sec. Dizon will pursue to ensure that public works are delivered efficiently, transparently, with full accountability and in the service of the Filipino people.
