Role in marine infrastructure
The Philippines Department of Public Works and Highways is the government's primary engineering and construction arm for national highways, major flood-control systems and other public works. Its Unified Project Management Office-Flood Control Management Cluster manages major flood-control programmes, including the DPWH side of the Metro Manila Flood Management Project.
