Tacloban Causeway Project: PH Haiyan's Continuing Advocacy for Transparency and Accountability
Tacloban Causeway – Project Completion, Public Funds, Environmental Compliance, and Public Consultation
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.

Roadside Greening, Road Right-of-Way, Climate Resilience and Inter-Agency Coordination
PH Haiyan Advocacy, Inc. continues to seek the resumption of its Adopt-a-Tree Project along the Tacloban Bypass Road following its temporary suspension in August 2025. The organization has formally requested DPWH to reconsider Department Order No. 73, Series of 2014, which restricts planting within national-road rights-of-way, and to provide technical justifications, updated road right-of-way records, and renewed inter-agency coordination. Through correspondence from August 2025 to September 2026, PH Haiyan has advocated for a science-based approach that promotes roadside greening while protecting public safety.
