DPWH eyes January 2026 opening of P46-M Bukidnon highway detour
CAGAYAN DE ORO, Philippines – The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) in Northern Mindanao announced that an over P46-million detour near a collapsed section of a key highway linking Cagayan de Oro, Bukidnon, and Davao is scheduled to open in January 2026.
Already 65% complete, the four-lane alternate route in Sitio Kipolot, Barangay Palacapao, Quezon town, Bukidnon, is being built after heavy rain triggered a landslide in October, killing an elderly couple riding a tricycle and cutting traffic between Northern Mindanao and Davao regions.
The disruption has caused estimated economic losses of at least P187 million a day, or 1.19% of Northern Mindanao’s gross regional domestic product, according to Mylah Faye Aurora Cariño, director of the Department of Economy, Planning, and Development.
Officials earlier warned that losses could reach P14 billion if the disruption continues until December 31 and may climb to P48.1 billion if the highway is not fully rehabilitated by June 30, 2026.
“Currently our engineers are correcting the grade of the road surface. By January there will be only minor activities to finish the project,” DPWH-X information officer Novie Cabrido said on Monday, December 15.
The 460-linear meter detour, being built at a cost of P46.6 million using the DPWH Quick Response Fund, is not yet cemented but will be passable for heavy trucks and vehicles, she added.
Public Works Secretary Vince Dizon ordered the detour after the mountain road collapsed, severing a vital economic link for the region.
“Our engineers were given 45 days to complete the road detour project to ease the burden of the truckers and vehicle owners,” Cabrido said.
A separate DPWH diversion allows only small and light vehicles to pass, forcing larger trucks to take alternative routes that add 60 to 100 kilometers to their trips.
Additional travel and logistics costs for truckers could total P132 million. Local farmers and vegetable vendors also face losses from double handling, spoilage, and delays, estimated at P55 million a day. – Rappler.com

Whales Dump 200 Million XRP in Just 2 Weeks – Is XRP’s Price on the Verge of Collapse?
Whales offload 200 million XRP leaving market uncertainty behind. XRP faces potential collapse as whales drive major price shifts. Is XRP’s future in danger after massive sell-off by whales? XRP’s price has been under intense pressure recently as whales reportedly offloaded a staggering 200 million XRP over the past two weeks. This massive sell-off has raised alarms across the cryptocurrency community, as many wonder if the market is on the brink of collapse or just undergoing a temporary correction. According to crypto analyst Ali (@ali_charts), this surge in whale activity correlates directly with the price fluctuations seen in the past few weeks. XRP experienced a sharp spike in late July and early August, but the price quickly reversed as whales began to sell their holdings in large quantities. The increased volume during this period highlights the intensity of the sell-off, leaving many traders to question the future of XRP’s value.

Can XRP Recover or Is a Bigger Decline Ahead? As the market absorbs the effects of the whale offload, technical indicators suggest that XRP may be facing a period of consolidation. The Relative Strength Index (RSI), currently sitting at 53.05, signals a neutral market stance, indicating that XRP could move in either direction. This leaves traders uncertain whether the XRP will break above its current resistance levels or continue to fall as more whales sell off their holdings. Source: Tradingview Additionally, the Bollinger Bands, suggest that XRP is nearing the upper limits of its range. This often points to a potential slowdown or pullback in price, further raising concerns about the future direction of the XRP. With the price currently around $3.02, many are questioning whether XRP can regain its footing or if it will continue to decline. The Aftermath of Whale Activity: Is XRP’s Future in Danger? Despite the large sell-off, XRP is not yet showing signs of total collapse. However, the market remains fragile, and the price is likely to remain volatile in the coming days. With whales continuing to influence price movements, many investors are watching closely to see if this trend will reverse or intensify. The coming weeks will be critical for determining whether XRP can stabilize or face further declines. The combination of whale offloading and technical indicators suggest that XRP’s price is at a crossroads. Traders and investors alike are waiting for clear signals to determine if the XRP will bounce back or continue its downward trajectory.
