In a statement, Villar commended the department’s task force responsible in speeding up the road right-of-way acquisition for the elevated expressway that links the southern and northern parts of Metro Manila.
Right-of-way acquisition, the secretary stressed, is the most common cause of project delay, especially under public-private partnership. This prompted the creation of a task force for each flagship program and decentralization of ROW operations under Department Order No. 65, series of 2017. The improved system, he said, allowed them to acquire 95 percent of ROW in two years and seven months.
As of September 2020, 40 out of the scheduled 47 service utilities of NGCP had been completely removed/relocated, five ongoing, and two for expropriation.
