DPWH taps experts to ensure efficient plans for flood control projects
Public Works Secretary Vince Dizon is assembling a team of experts to develop and vet flood control plans for the DPWH, to be incorporated into the agency's 2027 budget proposal.
This initiative involves collaboration with specialists from UP's NOAH Center and Institute of Civil Engineering, as well as the DENR.
Secretary Dizon emphasized that flood control projects without concrete plans or clearance from this expert group will not be included in the next budget.
This move follows President Marcos Jr.'s statement that no specific flood control budget would be allocated for 2026 due to unutilized funds from 2025.
