Houses built on San Juan drainage line demolished
Eight families in San Juan City were relocated after their homes built on a drainage system were demolished.
The voluntary clearing operation in Barangay San Perfecto aims to mitigate flooding in the flood-prone area.
San Juan City Mayor Francis Zamora and Public Works and Highways Secretary Vince Dizon inspected the demolition site.
The houses built on the drainage system contributed to flooding and obstructed rainwater flow.
The relocated families are now housed in prefabricated housing units constructed by the Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development in Barangay Batis.
They will live there rent-free, only paying for electricity and water bills.
