 the OJT experience proved to be more than a curricular requirement—it became Significant a venue for professional
development,self-evaluation,and the nurturing of discipline, adaptability, and a commitment to lifelong learn

Historical Background of the Company

The development of the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) into its
present structure underwent a long process of evolution spanning a century of colorful
and significant events in laying the groundwork for the physical foundation of the
country.

The Department is considered as old as the Philippine government, its existence dates
back to about four (4) centuries at the time of the Spanish colonial era. It emerged from
its embryonic form in 1565 when the first settlement roads were constructed by forced
labor. Fortresses then were connected by improved trails as supply lines and means of
communications. As Spain was in its expansion program in the islands, it resorted to a
policy of attraction by way of public works construction. In order to pursue their objective,
the King of Spain designated the Spanish Governor General in the country as Chief of
Public Works assisted by “Junta Consultiva” through a Royal Degree in 1867.

It was in 1868 when the Bureau of Public Works and Highways (Obras Publicas) and
Bureau of Communications and Transportation (Communicationes y Meteologia) were
organized under a civil engineer known as “Director General”.

Since then, the Department underwent various stages of development and evolution
that largely depended upon the change in government shift of administration policies,
and reorganization in its structure and responsibilities to suit the demands of times.

Finally after a long process of evolution by virtue of Executive Order No. 124, dated
January 30, 1987, the agency is now known as the Department of Public Works and
Highways (DPWH) with five (5) bureaus, six (6) services, sixteen (16 regional offices,
twenty-four (24) project management offices sixteen (16) regional equipment services
and one-hundred eighteen (118) district engineering offices.

VISION

By 2030, DPWH is an effective and efficient government agency, improving the life
of every Filipino through quality infrastructure.

MISSION

To provide and manage quality infrastructure facilities and services responsive to

the needs of the Filipino people in the pursuit of national development objectives.
