roads badly damaged as a result of the series of typhoons that had
visited the country.
2. The
Commissioner of Public Highways must establish
priorities of national, provincial and municipal roads to be repaired

of Instructions shall take effect
immediately, and the Commissioner of Public Highways must implement it
