Holding the Highway Act, the Department of Highways has
a duty to construct and maintain roads in the country. Because its
legal prescription focused only on the roads, it was not surprising
that the Department of Highways solely concentrated on the road
protection. Since the feasibility study carried out by the Marine
Department took too long the time, the Department of Highways
could not wait otherwise its road would vanish. However, it would
have been better if it had considered the community’s livelihood
and the disappearing sandy beach.
