Treñas points to unfinished projects in Jaro as reason for flooding
Mayor Raisa Treñas identified unfinished infrastructure projects as a primary cause of recent flooding in Jaro District.
An inspection revealed that a DPWH box culvert project in Barangay Lanit stopped short of reaching the creek in Barangay Buntatala.
The incomplete box culvert, which needed to extend another 145 meters, is believed to have contributed to the flooding in Barangays Balantang and Camalig.
The city government is assessing its capacity to finish the project and will verify if funding has been secured from the national government through the office of Rep. Julienne Baronda.
An estimated PHP20 million to PHP25 million is required to complete the flood mitigation project.
Mayor Treñas also noted that the project was implemented without prior consultation with officials from the affected barangays.
