Tacloban Causeway Project: PH Haiyan's Continuing Advocacy for Transparency and Accountability

Since 2025, PH Haiyan Advocacy, Inc. has actively engaged the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH), DENR-Environmental Management Bureau, and other concerned government agencies regarding the Tacloban Causeway Project in Cancabato Bay. Through a series of formal letters, information requests, and follow-ups, PH Haiyan has sought transparency on the project's construction status, delays, terminated contracts, utilization of public funds, project redesign, and environmental compliance. The organization has also called for independent verification of completed works, protection of Cancabato Bay, meaningful public consultation, and a clear government action plan for the project's responsible completion. PH Haiyan supports the completion of the Tacloban Causeway, provided that it follows proper procedures, meets environmental and engineering requirements, ensures accountability for public funds, and serves the long-term interests of Taclobanons and the wider Eastern Visayas community.
