Chinese Ambassador inspects Chico River Pump Irrigation Project

Some 400 Filipino employees have returned to work after Covid-19 suspended construction for three months.

Since May 5, the contractor has been steadily resuming the project by following the instructions of the local government and learning from the Chinese experiences. First, they adopted a closed loop management over the project site, strictly screened the health status of returning employees, and appointed the staff solely responsible for the procurement. Second, they provided sufficient anti-pandemic materials to all returning employees and sanitized the site every day. Third, they cooperated with the local community and established a health database of the employees for real-time detection and monitoring.
