National Irrigation Administration chief Eddie Guillen on Tuesday expressed hope for a yearly P200-billion budget for the country's dam projects.
“Well, ang ideal ang sabi ko nga sa inyo, ang ideal sana para sa akin, ano, sa tingin ko lamang po, meron sanang ma-implement ang gobyerno na around P200 billion worth of dam projects,” Guillen said in a briefing in Malacañang. Guillen, however, cannot indicate how many projects can be accomplished with such a budget, saying it would differ with each one.“Magkakabi ng range po eh. Ang akin lang sana ayun ang budget per year [the range differs. But I just hope that’s the budget per year],” Guillen added.“Ang maganda ho nga sa mga dams, hindi lamang siya pang-irigasyon. Puwede din power source ‘yan and, of course, flood control project… pang aquaculture, pang-tourism.
According to Guillen, Marcos has directed Public Works and Highways chief Manuel Bonoan to work together with them.
