Iloilo mayor wants flood control projects halted calls halt, review of flood control projects
Iloilo City Mayor Raisa Treñas-Chu has ordered a halt and review of all ongoing flood control projects in the city due to alleged irregularities and questionable design implementations.
She expressed disappointment after inspecting a P91 million flood mitigation project in Mohon, Arevalo, awarded to the Discaya-owned St. Gerrard Construction General Contractor and Development Corp.
Mayor Treñas-Chu noted that the project's description does not match what is being built, as some supposed waterways have been converted into bike lanes or access roads, potentially exacerbating flooding.
She highlighted that vital details such as the contract ID, start date, and target completion date have not been disclosed in the project transparency report.
The discovery of these irregularities prompted the call for a comprehensive review of all flood control projects handled by firms linked to the Discaya family.
