In a recent committee meeting, officials discussed critical issues related to flood control projects. There was a focus on the need for comprehensive solutions rather than piecemeal approaches, which have led to delays and incomplete infrastructure. The World Bank's current funding priorities exclude some essential flood control elements, prompting a call to explore alternative funding from JICA for a more thorough study of the Kamanaba flood control projects. Concerns were raised about the effectiveness of existing drainage systems, particularly in areas impacted by recent flooding. There was also a discussion about the impact of incomplete flood control measures on local communities, emphasizing that even minor gaps in infrastructure can lead to significant flooding problems. The meeting concluded with a request for a detailed investigation into recently damaged flood control dikes in Oriental Mindoro and a call for sustained and strategic funding for future flood control projects. #trending #trendingnow #
