The projects involved mostly repair of roads and bridges damaged by the tropical storms Ondoy and Pepeng. "They were signed just a few days before July 1. 'Di man lang ipinagpaliban (They would not even defer it)," Singson told the Inquirer. July 1 was Aquino's first full day in office as President.
