Cebu opens diversion road, forms task force to fix roads

POLITIKO | politiko.com.ph

August 19, 2026

Cebu Governor Pamela Baricuatro has opened a new diversion road in Compostela to restore access to three mountain barangays and announced a new task force that will focus on road problems across the province.

Baricuatro and Compostela Mayor Felijur Quiño led the opening on August 18 of the 250-meter Dapdap-Mulao Diversion Road.

The road provides an alternative route for residents of Dapdap, Mulao and Tag-ube after the previous provincial road was damaged by strong floodwaters brought by Typhoon Tino last year.

“Nasugdan naman gyod nato og ayo ang atong mga provincial hospitals, now it’s time to fix our provincial roads,” Baricuatro said.

Dapdap Barangay Captain Joseph Vasquez said around 600 households in his barangay alone welcomed the opening of the new route after the old road was cut off before plunging into the river.

The governor also thanked lot donor Helga Natad-Canen and her siblings for allowing the provincial government to use their property for the project.

“We are only stewards here on earth. Ang Ginoo maoy tag-iya sa tanan, tinugyanan rata. We received so many blessings, so amo sad ning i-share,” Natad-Canen said.

Baricuatro also announced the creation of a provincial road task force beginning next year, with mayors to be included so they can help identify roads needing immediate repairs.

She also announced a hotline, jokingly called the “Libaong Hotline,” where residents can report damaged provincial roads to the Capitol.
