As Anomalous As Flood Control

August 19, 2025| By Carlo Batalla

A BRIDGE in the 2nd district of Camarines Sur represents an interesting connection. Constructed under the watch of Congressman Lray Villafuerte the construction was completed in 2021. The irony is that there is no existing road connected to the bridge which was funded by people’s money in the sum of 60 million pesos. The information with attached photos of the anomalous project was relayed by concerned citizens to the local media outlets to raise awareness about the questionable construction project that was apparently a mere product of political whims and corruption.

The bridge itself, a marvel of engineering, stood as a testament to the wastefulness and corruption prevalent in the local government. It served as a stark reminder of the misuse of public funds and the lack of accountability in the governance of the province.

The scandal surrounding the bridge project sparked outrage among the community, prompting calls for investigations and accountability from government officials. The people demanded transparency and justice for the mismanagement of public funds that could have been used for more meaningful and beneficial projects in the province.
In the end, the bridge in the 2nd district of Camarines Sur represented in congress by congressman Villafuerte stood not only as a physical structure but also as a symbol of the need for vigilance and integrity in government projects. It serves as a cautionary tale of the consequences of unchecked power and corruption in public service, reminding both officials and citizens alike of the importance of accountability and transparency in governance.
