None of the Metro Manila local government units has reached 100 percent compliance with the road clearing order, according to the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG).
In a statement, the DILG said they still have not identified which of the LGUs are fully compliant with President Rodrigo Duterte’s order to clear all public roads.
“We have not made any determination on which LGUs are fully compliant,” according to DILG Spokesman Jonathan Malaya.
Malaya also said an LGU needs to be fully compliant with the following before it can be declared as obstruction-free:
- Enact or revisit ordinances related to road clearing and banning of illegal construction
- Prepare an inventory of roads within their jurisdiction
- Develop and implement displacement strategies
- Cause and rehabilitation of recovered public roads
He also added that the DILG will validate the data from the LGUs regarding their status in the road clearing directive.—AAC (with reports from Mon Jocson)
