                    [Summary] => The Court of Appeals has stopped the Office of the Ombudsman from enforcing its order to fire a ranking official of the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) who allegedly failed the government’s life-style check.


Warning government agents against enforcing the order, justices of the 10th division of the appellate court issued a "writ of preliminary injunction," or a permanent freeze order on the Ombudsman’s directive issued Oct. 2004 against Salvador Pleyto, whom government prosecutors accused of acquiring ill-gotten wealth worth P81 million.

The lack of streetlights at the newly-constructed highway has been the subject of complaints of hundreds of motorists who said traversing the road at high speed at night was constantly very risky.


Val Carporal, 26, salesman, and Pasig City resident, noted that squatters along the road cross the highway and cause near-mishaps as motorists swerve in time to avoid running over the jaywalkers.

                    [Summary] => The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) announced yesterday that road repairs conducted by its personnel in Metro Manila will be done at night to avoid traffic snarls during the day. 


In what seemed like a lifetime for the department to realize, DPWH Secretary Simeon Datumanong said he has ordered asphalt patching of roads to be done at night in response "to motorists’ complaints." Major repairs, on the other hand, will still go on round the clock.

                    [Summary] => Thieves are to blame for the pitch darkness along the  C-5 Road from Makati to Pasig, according to the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH).


The lack of streetlights at the newly-constructed highway has been the subject of complaints of hundreds of motorists who said traversing the road at high speed at night was constantly very risky.


Val Carporal, 26, salesman, and Pasig City resident, noted that squatters along the road cross the highway and cause near-mishaps as motorists swerve in time to avoid running over the jaywalkers.
