Floodwater accumulates in Lagusnilad rendering it impassable to motorists on Wednesday, July 24, 2024. The Senate is set to review the funds of government agencies in charge of flood control projects in the next budget deliberation.
Senator Alan Peter Cayetano also highlighted the delayed flood control projects of DPWH, suggesting that the effects of recent typhoons could have been mitigated if these projects had been completed. During a previous Senate hearing, Cayetano questioned the allocation of resources to unfinished flood control projects and raised concerns about the maintenance and rehabilitation budget of the DPWH, which accounts for a significant portion of its total budget.
“Massive flooding in Navotas had become a thing of the past, especially since we surrounded our city with bombastik pumping stations. The company responsible for the damage to the navigational gate should be held accountable. We must ensure such negligence does not happen again,” he further said.The president also instructed DSWD to distribute 1,800 food packs, 288 boxes of bottled water, and 500 family kits to flood victims in Navotas.
