President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on Monday called for the National Irrigation Administration to modernize and rehabilitate the Magat Dam.
“We’re talking with Administrator Guillen. We’re saying, let’s go back and check the Magat Dam again and see if it’s still possible. Looks like there’s still something needed. Probably needs rehabilitation. Let’s improve it,” President Marcos said. Built in 1975, the Magat Dam irrigates 85,000 hectares in the Cagayan Valley and generates 540 megawatts of hydroelectric power. However, it faces challenges from siltation, sedimentation, illegal logging, and fish caging.
