BAGUIO CITY -- The Cordillera regional project monitoring committee (RPMC), led by National Economic Development Council OIC Cordillera regional director Stephanie Christiansen inspected two slope protection projects along Kennon Road  May 12 and reported these were substantially completed ahead of schedule.
    Construction division OIC assistant chief engineer Ismael Dela Cruz and quality assurance and hydrology division chief engineer Samuel Advincula of  Dept. of Public Works and Highways Cordillera and representative of project contractor told the RPMC wire mesh, permanent ground anchors were being installed.
    Cementing was reportedly also being done.
    Christiansen said the inspection was unique since the projects showed positive output and good practices that can be adapted and shared with other agencies.
    The committee noted availability of materials, hiring of skilled workers and local residents with experience and effective coordination with implementing agencies and local stakeholders like the barangays were great factors in making sure that projects were delivered with quality and on time.
    The RPMC will also transmit recommendations to Dept. of Interior and Local Government on roles of the LGUs and barangays in project implementation, particularly in ensuring safety during construction.
    The RPMC as support committee of the Regional Development Council conducts project inspection in the region to facilitate resolution of project issues.
    It is composed of regional government agencies, local governments and representatives from the private sector.
