He said DPWH Secretary Manuel Bonoan had already inspected the site immediately after the collapse of the bridge.
“We need at least a temporary hanging bridge for our daily crossing,” Umali said in an earlier phone interview. “But after the incident, their safety has been our utmost concern since they cross the river by boat. One time, the boat capsized while crossing. Thank God, everyone was saved,” Umali said.ADVERTISEMENT“But it is not enough to accommodate the daily users who want to cross the river,” he said.Quezon Gov. Angelina Tan also called on the national government to immediately replace the destroyed bridge, which is under the jurisdiction of the DPWH-Quezon 2nd engineering district.
Some motorists who regularly took the Batangas route from Lucena to Manila also urged the government to build a temporary bridge for light vehicles.
