The outdated drainage systems can be blamed for the massive floodings experienced in the National Capital Region especially when Typhoon Carina hit the country in July, the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority said on Tuesday.
Further, the MMDA said waste collection in the aftermath of the floods was challenging for them at that time.“We in the agency had difficulty catching up and cleaning up all the garbage left by Typhoon Carina, which of course was generated by communities. The local government units were not able to collect it, maybe because it's thrown somewhere else,” said Artes.MMDA data showed that at least 12 to 17 truck loads of waste debris were collected after Carina.
