The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) is set to construct more off-site hospitals across the country to cater to the increasing number of people infected with the coronavirus disease (COVID-19).
Public Works Secretary Mark A. Villar, who is also the government’s isolation czar, said the capacity expansion of major hospitals is on-going through the use of pre-fabricated components, which is designed to speed up the construction process.
Villar also announced the start of construction works for additional pop-up structures at the Lung Center of the Philippines (LCP) in Quezon City following a meeting of the DPWH Task Force for Augmentation of Local/National Health Facilities headed by Undersecretary Emil K. Sadain and LCP Executive Director Dr. Vincent M. Balanag Jr.

CELLULAR TOWER construction is expected to accelerate after the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) issued a department order granting telecommunications firms use of the government’s right of way on national roads, Globe Telecom, Inc. said.
The order authorizes telcos “to construct and undertake excavations and/or restoration works” for information and communications technology infrastructure projects within the “allowable ROW (right of way) limits” of the national roads.
“With this, Globe sees faster network builds in the country after the government removed a major bottleneck that prevented telecom service providers from constructing crucial infrastructure projects along national roads,” the company said in a statement Wednesday.
