LINGAYEN, Pangasinan –
The province is experiencing a shortage of cement, an official said Wednesday.
Contractors have
complained of the delay in the completion of government projects since January
due to the shortage, said district engineer Rodolfo Dion.
Dion said some
contractors who ordered 200 bags only got 30 bags.
He cited the
construction of a two-story school building in San Jacinto town and the Padilla
Bridge in Lingayen, which were affected by the cement shortage.
Dion said the
Department of Public Works and Highways is giving consideration to contractors
who may not be able to meet their deadline because of the shortage.
“The delay is not
their fault,” he said.
Dion said the price of
cement in Pangasinan has increased from P235 to P252 per bag. He said the
problem is expected to continue until May.
