Leyte 4th DEO inspects ongoing Albuera- Burauen road

ORMOC CITY – DPWH Leyte 4th DEO, led by District Engineer Lino Francisco C. Gon- zalez and Assistant District Engineer Irwin L. Antonio, together with the Section Chiefs and Leyte 4th Project Engineers inspected the on-going Albuera-Burauen Road. The multi-year diversion road project is one of the numerous diversion roadS implemented in the region under the “Build Build Build” program of the government. This road aims to provide an alternate shorter route from Albuera-Burauen or from Ormoc City to Tacloban City. Moreover, once com- pleted, the road will strategically link common tourist spots in Leyte and will remarkably reduce the 110-km travel to 26-km. (PR)

PRO8 pushes for attack- resilient police stations in all of Eastern Visayas PALO, LEYTE – With the newly designed police station playing a big role in the victo- rious defense of Victoria, Northern Samar Police against alleged NPA guerillas, the Police Regional Office 8 (PRO8) pushes for a 100 percent attack-resilient two-storey standard type building in all police stations in Eastern Visayas. Victoria cops were able to repel the attack from the roof deck on the third floor of the building, wherein the assailants were prevented from penetrating the station. PRO8 Director, PBGen. Dionardo Carlos, said the standard type building with roof deck is the new design for police stations, which has more or less 288-sqm floor area, with 12mx8m dimension. “The best feature of this building is its roof deck, where police personnel can observe their immediate vicinity from above. The building costs around Php 4.8 million,” he shared. see ATTACK-RESILIENT p. 14
