Encourage well-performing small time contractors to upgrade their level of contracting category to augment the workforce of the current construction industries comprised of moderate to large-scale private contractors which are undertaking government infrastructure projects. 2. The implementation of the new policy of the government on Cash-Based Budgeting, which has only one year implementation period will significantly address this concern. It is expected that more contractors will be involved in the construction of DPWH projects because of stringent measures imposed on the project duration within a one (1) year period giving the chance and encouraging other contractors to participate.

In highly urbanized and overly crowded centers like Metro Cebu, the necessity to have a mass transport facilities has become an urgent demand in order to address the worsening traffic congestion. Given the seriousness of the present situation wherein Metro Cebu is losing P3.1 Billion pesos a day due to traffic congestion according to JICA Study, DOTr should have a Regional or Field Office in Region 7 which will focus in the formulation and pursuance of mass transport that will effectively complement the growing infrastructure developments in Metropolitan Cebu and the whole region as well.
