chanroblesvirtualawlibrary
WHEREAS,
under the Integrated Reorganization Plan as approved and
implemented in the Department of Public Highways, there are
eleven (11) highway regional offices;chanroblesvirtualawlibrary
WHEREAS, Region 4 of the Department of Public Highways as
presently constituted covers a very extensive area, which renders
almost impossible an effective and thorough supervision and
coordination of all related projects and activities by only one
Regional Director;chanroblesvirtualawlibrary
WHEREAS, there is a concentration of project execution and other
development work in the Greater Manila Area that necessitates the
physical presence of the Fourth Regional Director most of the
time, thus limiting his time to supervise the projects in other
provinces and cities within the region;chanroblesvirtualawlibrary
WHEREAS, there is also an imperative need for closer, more
effective and thorough supervision and coordination of project
execution in other provinces of the region especially because of
area developments, particularly in Oriental Mindoro and Palawan,
which necessitate the physical presence of the Regional Director
in these places;chanroblesvirtualawlibrary
WHEREAS, to assure better administration and more thorough
supervision of highway projects in all the provinces and cities
within the region, it is imperative to divide the provinces and
cities presently comprising Region 4 of the Department of Public
Highways into two (2) regions, each region to be headed by a
Regional Director.
