DPWH urged to fast-track anti-flood infra

CITY OF SAN FERNANDO – Pampanga Provincial Board unanimously approved over the weekend a resolution asking the agency to fast-track the completion of flood mitigation projects in the province.
This even as the Provincial Board commended the Department of Public Works and Highways for a “job well done” on the San Fernando-Sto. Tomas-Minalin Tail Dike.
Fourth District Board Member and committee on environment and natural resources chairman Nestor “Bay” Tolentino, in a privilege speech during the Provincial Board’s regular session on Friday, emphasized that “fear and anxiety remains” among inhabitants in areas where the uncompleted infrastructures are, especially the rainy season is on.
“There are still flood control infrastructures that must be attended to, for which the Provincial Government under the able leadership of Gov. Lilia Pineda will give all-out support to fast track the completion of these projects and allay the fear and anxiety of our constituents,” he said.
Tolentino identified the projects as the widening from 20 meters to 60 meters of the pilot relief channel from Gugu Creek to Labuan channel including its confluence with San Francisco River in Minalin estimated to cost P70 million; the acquisition of a road right of way and spoil sites for dredged materials costing P4 million; and the heightening, strengthening and armoring of depressed sections of the tail dike, including the outfall at Magliman Creek worth P54 million.
He also pointed out the P1-million repair and maintenance of the Labuan Bailey Bridge and the construction of a retaining wall and improvement of the Gugu Dike where some P10 million has been allocated. He similarly noted of the heavily damaged setback levee in Arayat and the eroded portion of the Arnedo Dike along Eastern Pampanga.
“These are also two critical areas of concern that demand immediate attention. I believe it is expected of us to free our people from such danger,” stressed Tolentino.
He told Sun.Star Pampanga that the P139 million allocated for the projects had already been released about two months ago by the Department of Management.
“Our colleague Board Member Ric Yabut has informed us that the projects are now up for bidding, but our resolution approved as a whole is primarily meant to ask them to expedite and facilitate the implementation of the vital projects. We want to ensure public safety that will free our kabalens from any imminent danger resulting from flood waters. We would not want another Habagat or disaster this time,” concluded Tolentino.
