The city’s Ancillary Services Unit is stepping up its clean-up operations of the drainage system in Davao City after heavy flooding hit the city on Wednesday night.
The clean-up includes clearing any obstructions in the storm drains of the city. Drainage clean-ups are also regularly conducted in flood-prone areas that include Jade Valley and La Verna in Buhangin, where severe flooding is always expected. “Ang priority nato, before pa ang ato na ulan, kay kadtong previous na mga frequently flooded areas, such as kining naa diri sa GSIS. So, gitirahan nato ang San Antonio Village kay dili ma-drain ang tubig diha gikan sa GSIS so mubaha diha sa McArthur Highway,” Bermejo said.
