Marcos says effective flood-control projects still possible under his admin
President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. cited the Union Water Impounding Dam in Claveria, Cagayan as an example of an effectively implemented flood control project.
He stated that well-designed and properly executed flood control measures can prevent problems, emphasizing that such projects are still possible under his administration.
Marcos previously expressed anger over anomalous and ghost flood control projects, such as a P55-million 'ghost' riverwall project in Baliuag, Bulacan, and believes the resignation of implicated officials is not enough.
To address these issues, Marcos established an Independent Commission for Infrastructure to review past and present infrastructure projects, including flood control projects from the last decade.
