The city government has demolished almost 200 structures built on top of river dikes and under bridges to reduce the risk of floods and to prevent the dikes and bridges’ structural stability from getting compromised.
DAVAO CITY—
“Most of these structures are located in Talomo District, at SIR, Davao River. Only a few structures remain as almost all of the structures have been demolished. In Panacan, there are many structures demolished. Currently, we are demolishing structures in Bago Gallera,” he said. “These structures are extensions of houses, CRs, kitchen, cages of animals. Others even built apartments,” he added.
Sumagaysay said his office has coordinated with the City Social Welfare and Development Office for financial and other forms of support to settlers who have to leave their shelter.
