\nMANILA: Water concessionaire Maynilad and its contractors should be penalized for the huge sinkhole that appeared in Sales Road, Pasay City on Sunday, reportedly caused by a leak from a pipeline.<\/p>\n
Senator Ramon Revilla Jr., who chairs the Committee on Public Works, said in a news release Monday that there must be accountability and proactive measures from service providers to prevent similar incidents.<\/p>\n
They should also ensure regular inspection and maintenance of their projects.<\/p>\n
‘Dapat mapanagot ang Maynilad at ang mga contractors nila dito (Maynilad and their contractors should be held accountable). The sinkhole, measuring 2 by 3 meters and 8 to 10 feet deep, poses danger to motorists and nearby residential properties and buildings, including the foundation of the NAIAX (Ninoy Aquino International Airport Expressway) elevated highway,’ Revilla said in a statement.<\/p>\n
‘Ilang beses na tayo nakakatanggap ng report na may pumutok na pipe sa ganito, minsan nagdudulot pa ng baha at nakaka-abala. Dapat bago pa lang
\nmagkaroon ng leak, na-check na. Tuloy-tuloy dapat ang inspection at maintenance (We have received several reports of a pipe exploding, that sometimes even caused flooding and inconvenience. Before a leak occurs, it should have been checked already. Inspection and maintenance should be continuous),’ Revilla said.<\/p>\n
The Metro Manila Development Authority closed a portion of Sales Road while repairs are ongoing.<\/p>\n
As of Monday morning, both lanes of the eastbound side of Sales Road near Villamor Air Base Gate 3 remained cordoned off, with counterflow measures in place.<\/p>\n
