5. Reasons for this Request :

The Contractor, ROLCO CONSTRUCTION & DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION, in its

letter dated March 24, 2017, request for WSO No. 1 due to RROW problems which
hampered its construction activities. Pertinent to its letter is the Certification of the
Punong Barangay dated March 17, 2017 stating that the contractor is unable to perform
construction activities at the site due to the refusal of affected stakeholders to allow
entry into their property.

Relative to this, the Project Engineer in its report dated March 21, 2017, detailed that
the affected stakeholders did not allow the entry of the contractor to work in their
respective area. He added that these stakeholders even refuse to sign the Permit to
Enter issued to them in relation to the Project.

Said unsigned Permit to Enter is attached herewith.

The Project Engineer also recommended for the suspension of works pending the
resolution of the RROW problem at the project site.
