MMDA wants to be involved in planning flood control, infra projects in NCR
The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) aims to be involved in the planning, execution, and implementation of flood control and infrastructure projects in the National Capital Region.
MMDA Chairman Romando Artes is in discussions with Public Works and Highways Secretary Vince Dizon about this potential collaboration.
Currently, the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) handles the construction of these projects and then turns them over to the MMDA.
Artes expressed the desire for the MMDA to participate from the initial stages of project development.
This initiative aligns with the new MMDA General Manager Nicolas Torre's priorities, which include traffic and flood control management.
