  • President Bongbong Marcos points out "design flaw" and reduction in funding as reasons for the collapse of Cabagan-Sta. Maria bridge in Isabela province.

The article discusses a bridge collapse in Isabela, where President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. highlighted a design flaw as the primary cause. The incident involved a bridge in Barangay Anao, Mallig, which collapsed while under construction, leading to the death of five workers and injuries to others. Marcos, speaking at the Kadiwa ng Pangulo event, emphasized that the design was not suited for the area's soil conditions, which led to the structural failure. He also mentioned that the government would investigate the incident thoroughly to prevent future occurrences and ensure accountability. The bridge was part of a larger infrastructure project aimed at improving connectivity in the region.
