Quezon City District 1 (QCD1) Rep. Juan Carlos “Arjo” Atayde on Tuesday urged the government to prioritize flood control measures and to designate a “Flooding Czar” to focus on the management and completion of flood control projects.
WITH paralyzing floods becoming more frequent in Metro Manila because of increasingly common super typhoons and heavy rains, Quezon City District 1 Rep. Juan Carlos “Arjo” Atayde on Tuesday urged the government to prioritize flood control measures and to designate a “Flooding Czar” to focus on the management and completion of flood control projects.
“By designating a “Flooding Czar” in the Cabinet, someone will be primarily responsible for ensuring proper coordination between the Department of Public Works and Highways, the Metro Manila Development Authority, and NCR’s various local governments with regard to flood control projects,” said the solon.
The freshman legislator also urged the DPWH to allocate funds in order to conduct a study that will determine the feasibility of possible solutions to address the flooding problem. “In Barangay Mariblo, Barangay Sto. Domingo and Barangay Talayan, residents experienced waist-deep floods. Sa mga barangays sa Bungad, San Antonio, Katipunan at Damayan naman, hanggang tuhod ang baha. Dun sa West Riverside sa Barangay Del Monte, hindi na makalabas ang mga tao sa kani-kanilang bahay dahil sa tindi ng baha,” shared Atayde.
