BRIA Homes rides on Build, Build, Build momentum and creates better lives for Filipinos

BRIA Homes, a leading mass-housing
 developer in the Philippines, rides on
 the administration’s Build, Build, Build
momentum as it provides modern and affordable
 housing options to ordinary Filipinos
who stand to benefit from the sustained
economic growth.

Nearly four years into the Duterte administration, official reports disclose that its “Build, Build, Build” infrastructure development program is currently implementing at least 20,000 game-changing projects meant to connect—and promote robust growth in—81 provinces located in 18 regions in the Philippines. 

The DPWH alone, under Secretary Mark Villar, has completed a total of 9845 kms of roads, 2,709 bridges, 64 airport projects, and 243 seaport projects. This is expected to develop industries that, in turn, create jobs and improve the lives of the Filipinos. 

To date, key infrastructure projects under the BBB Program include the Subic-Clark Railway; the North-South railway projects connecting Los Baños, Laguna to Tutuban, Manila and Clark Freeport in Pampanga; a 1,500-hectare industrial park in Clark, Pampanga; and an expanded Clark International Airport also in Pampanga.

Other projects are four energy facilities, ten water resource projects and irrigation systems, and five flood control facilities.

Playing Russian Roulette

Last Friday May 11, 2018, the Department of Trade and industry’s Secretary Ramon Lopez presided over a forum of stakeholders at the BOI AVR Room where Engineer Emilio Morales presented again before the construction industry and leaders of various government agencies the study “A CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER 2 - THE USE OF QT OR TMT IN SEISMIC ZONE 4”

Nikki Coseteng Exposes Serious Steel Dangers

Former Senator Nikki Coseteng made a public presscon recently to expose the grave dangers of substandard materials used to make structures like high rise buildings and public structures. Backed up by a intensive study made by Engr. Emil Morales, the findings show that certain materials does not pass the standards in construction and will be highly volatile in the structural integrity.

With the construction boom and the Build Build Build project boosting the demand for work and materials in the Philippines, especially in the major cities, the strength of these structures should be a priority given that the country is within the Pacific Ring of Fire which is highly at risk for earthquakes and tsunamis. Also that the country experiences high winds due to typhoons, can also affect durability in terms of water porosity, cement density and strength.
