Solon urges DPWH to prioritize flood control projects in Albay
Albay Representative Joey Salceda urged the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) to lift the ban on flood control projects and allow the construction of necessary infrastructure.
Salceda highlighted that many structures damaged by previous typhoons, such as Typhoon Kristine, remain unrepaired due to the existing ban.
He explained that temporary measures like sandbagging, used during Super Typhoon Uwan, eventually failed to hold back floodwaters.
The Albay representative emphasized the need for appropriate, scientific, and evidence-based flood control projects to be prioritized in his district.
Salceda also mentioned that over 25,000 families in his district had to be evacuated and received relief goods.
