Teodorico "Ted" Haresco: Bridge Builder
Bridge Builder
Teodorico Haresco is a builder of futures
He is cited in the book The British Legacy to the Philippines: 425 years of Philippine-British Relations, as one of 19 Filipinos who have contributed directly to Philippine development through work driven by commitment, dedication, and nationalism. His name is among those of national hero Dr. Jose P. Rizal, Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, and Fidel V. Ramos.
He is responsible for conceptualizing and bringing to fruition the Philippine's President's Bridge Program (PBP), a bridge infrastructure program designed to spur the country's much needed rural economic development. In a country characterized by vast arable tracts of land separated by waterways, bridges are crucial in efficiently connecting markets, reducing time and cost to produce and transport goods. To date, the PBP survives as the country's only dedicated bridging project, and Teodorico Haresco's efforts have been crucial in erecting 1,589 units in an archipelago that has placed the need at over 14,000.
Teodorico Haresco was a vital factor in the Special Zone in Peace and Development phase of the PBP, dubbed Bridges of Hope. Under his watch, the project completed 526 bridges nine months ahead of schedule, with no cost overruns. In fact, the resulting materials savings were utilized for more bridges.
It is said that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. It is also an unofficial acknowledgment of a program's success. The PBP now serves as a model being duplicated in Sri Lanka, Papua New Guinea, Cambodia, Siberia and other parts of Asia.
