Manuel Villar, chairman of the Senate committee on finance, has expressed concern over an official report that P33 billion worth of public works projects built last year were found defective.

"At a time when the government is hard-up it is jolting to come across a Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) report that 1,069 infrastructure projects built last year had construction flaws," he said.

But all is not lost, Villar said, as the government can fall back on a new law which applies a warranty cover on all public works projects.
