| DPWH ARMM Regional Sec retary Don Loong and District Engineer Munir Hadjirul is briefed by the technical consultants on the status of the ARMM Comprehensive Roads inventory and transparency |
For the first time in the history of ARMM, all National, Provincial,
Municipal and Barangay roads are being inventoried by actual road inspection
with simultaneous geo-tagging and laid down on the global information system
map (GIS). This data can be seen on multiple layers such as google earth,
horizontal-vertical maps as well as political maps of ARMM.
This is part of the legacy we are preparing for the coming government
that may come. A fully inventoried roads map of the ARMM. This is also the
system that ensures that there is no more ghost projects in the ARMM as we are
using all the technology available, from the latest roads surveying gadgets and
softwares, Global information systems, geo-tagging, top of the line drone
surveillance systems, on the road survey actual inspections, simultaneous video
with google map documentations together with extensive transparency on social
media, website, youtube and vital public ports.
Aside from this, consultants are also working on a more responsive and
highly accessible website for the DPWHARMM On the Road data that will allow the
public easy and transparent data on all projects undertaken the past years.
Going a step further, we are also developing an android based
monitoring and management system that will be available in android for
downloading that will be, perhaps, the first in the world.
The consultants are also having a hard time on these very innovative transparency
systems and closely working with the Regional Secretary that tracks the
progress monthly.
The Regional Secretary is at present still looking for the best website
developers and best android application developers to join the team. Please
send a messenger to the DPWH ARMM on the road account if you know of anyone
interested - even if they be based in Manila.
Aside from this, a massive project impact assessment and documentation
as well as a project documentation book is also being embarked - another first
in the line of the public works.
ARMM -DPWH Sec Don believes that the lasting legacy of the Hataman Administration
will be these systems that will form as a baseline of infrastructure projects
and full mapping with inventory and status and update of the road projects -
this is the only sustainable system that will ensure that - no matter who
becomes the next leaders or ARMM or the next governements - all parties will
have access to transparent information that will prevent or minimize the
wastage of government funds, prevent ghost projects to areas that had already
received projects.
The failure of past administrations were that the whole world was in
the dark as to how ARMM looks like and where the projects in ARMM were placed.
But with all these utilisation of technology open to the public in social
media, youtube, website and hard bound books, the entire ARMM will be as
familiar to the entire world as their neighborhood, and the next leaders will
have to continue the reforms that we have started.
Sunlight is the best disinfectant - with all these work we do aside
from building infrasture - we are building a legacy of sustainable development
in a post-conflict region that may become a global case study for interventions
in conflict affected areas around the world.
