Still no classes in Hermosa school damaged by floods

, ,

HERMOSA, Bataan- Floods have subsided but there were still no classes on Monday at the Balsik Elementary School here that suffered damages on its infrastructures, text books and other school materials.

Head teacher Teresita Datu said the floods rose to more than six feet in their school. “First time na nangyari ang ganito ka lalim na baha sa school na ito,” she said.

The public high school sits at the boundary of Bataan and Pampanga and caters to students from both provinces.

She said that even if they resume classes, many students could not yet go to school because of the damage left by the floods to their homes.

Third year student JR Datu said they have no classes yet and was in the school to help in the clean-up.

Strong flood waters destroyed the concrete floor of a classroom, comfort room and long span of the concrete fence.

Text books and other teaching aids all soaked from flood waters were filed outside classrooms. Students and teachers were cleaning rooms and chairs.

Delta project revival seen to alleviate flooding in Bulacan

, ,

MALOLOS CITY— To alleviate flooding in Bulacan that damaged crops, properties and infrastructures worth hundreds of millions of pesos, Gov. Wilhelmino Alvarado called for the revival of the mothballed Pampanga Delta Development Project phase II (PDDP-II)

The same project was opposed by Bulakenyos led by former Gov. Roberto Pagdanganan in the late ‘80s and early ‘90s.

Alvarado said the project will alleviate perennial flooding being experienced in the first district of Bulacan, specifically in Hagonoy and Calumpit.

Both towns suffered from back floods after the onslaught of typhoon Ondoy in 2009 and after the heavy monsoon rains last week.

Last year, both towns recorded the deepest flood in history after typhoons Pedring and Quiel pummelled the province.

On Saturday, Alvarado announced that he will convene the infrastructure committee of the Regional Development Council of Central Luzon this week to meet with Public Works Secretary Rogelio Singson.

The RDC infrastructure committee which Alvarado chairs earlier made the proposal to revive the project.

Based on his earlier pronouncements, Alvarado said that the Project Management Office of the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) has come up with a number of revised designs for the revival of the PDDP-II.

One proposal said that the DPWH will build a high concrete wall on the embankment of the Labangan Floodway in Hagonoy and desilt it to increase water holding capacity.

Alvarado noted that said design will mean less dislocation of residents living on the edge of the man-made Labangan floodway which was dug in the ‘70s to address the series of month long flood in Bulacan that occurred every two years from 1972 to 1978.

The said design was verbally endorsed by Alvarado and Mayors James de Jesus of Calumpit and Angel Cruz of Hagonoy.

In the mid-80s, the Labangan Floodway was proposed to be linked with the PDDP-I in Masantol, Macabebe and Apalit town in Pampanga.

But it was opposed by Bulakenyos who feared that at least eight villages in Calumpit and Hagonoy will be erased from the map.

This is due to planned widening of the Labangan floodway.

Tight LPG supply nationwide to ease up by Friday

, ,

ANGELES CITY- The tight supply of LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) in the country will significantly ease up by Friday after three ships, which bad weather prevented from docking at the ports of Mariveles, Bataan way back last Aug. 2, have started to unload their cooking gas cargo.

In a press conference here yesterday, LPG Refillers Association of the Philippines, Inc. (LPG-RAP) president Bernardo Bolisay said that the three ships loaded with some 7,500 metric tons of LPG from Singapore and Taiwan were finally able to dock at the pier of Liquigaz Philippines, Corp. in Mariveles.

“The three ships arrived last Aug. 2, but they were only small ships that were prevented from docking at the pier because of winds over 10 knots in the area arising from typhoon Gener and the monsoon rains,” Bolisay said.

“There never was a shortage nor was there any hoarding. It was a case of nature preventing the distribution of LPG supply already within Philippine territory,” he stressed, debunking an earlier allegation of an official of the Department of Energy blaming hoarding for the tight supply.

Bolisay said the tight supply already eased up last Friday when a bigger ship containing 17,000 metric tons of LPG was able to dock and unload in Mariveles. And then last Monday, improved weather also enabled the three stranded smaller ships to unload.

“I expect the LGP supply for households nationwide will stabilize by this Friday,” Bolisay said.

He noted that when the big ship arrived last Friday, as many as 180 lorries lined up for LPG supply at Liquigaz. “As of last Tuesday, the number has decreased to only 50 lining up and I expect this to even decrease as they are loading up at the rate of four lorries at a time,” he added.

Bolisay said that of the country’s consumption of about 100 million kilograms of LPG monthly, only about 30 percent are produced by big multinational firms such as Petron and Solane, formerly Shellane which, however, at times obtain more supplies also from Liquigaz whose storage capacity is for 12 million kilograms.

“While the capacity of Liquigaz is very limited, ships mostly from Singapore and Taiwan frequently come to replenish its supply,” he noted.

He said that Petron and Solane LPG cater mostly to commercial users, while his group of “independent refillers” caters to household users which consume about 30 percent of the 100 million kilo demand monthly in the country.

Bolisay said that out of about 180 LPG plants nationwide, about 120 are independent refillers, or those getting their supplies outside the multinational sources.

“Our price depends really on prices in the international market. In Luzon at present, an 11-kilo LPG tank cost about P680 to P700 but in the Visayas and Mindanao, it normally costs P1,000 or even more,” he said, pointing to transport cost as bases for the higher prices.

This, even as Bolisay urged Congress to amend the Oil Deregulation Law to cover LPG. “LPG is covered by this law, so that refillers can’t do anything as the cost is dictated by our suppliers,” he lamented.

Many public event venues in resort hotels in Philippines can’t deliver assurances of safety and security for a good team building event outside Manila.

Philvolcs sees no lahar threat to Pampanga

, ,

CITY OF SAN FERNANDO – The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Philvolcs) clarified yesterday there were no indications that tons of lahar debris on the slopes of Mt. Pinatubo are poised to flow and bury parts of this province.

In an interview with Punto!, Phivolcs chief volcanologist Perla de los Reyes said a team of scientists who inspected the Pasig-Potrero River last Friday found the lahar embedded on the channel remained intact.

The river, which runs down from the slopes of Mt. Pinatubo, used to be an active lahar channel.

De los Reyes said the scientists inspected the river from the area of the Gapan-San Fernando-Olongapo Road downstream up to the so-called Delta 5 lahar monitoring station up the slopes of Mt. Pinatubo some 20 kilometers away.

Reports of lahar danger from the Pasig-Potrero caused some panic from local folk after some persons were reported to have shouted lahar was on its way to a packed local mall. The news was immediately contained by local officials.

Huge volumes of volcanic debris were deposited on the Pasig-Potrero channel during the series of lahar flows that followed Mt. Pinatubo’s big eruption in 1991.

The heavy rains brought by the recent southwest monsoon triggered fears of re-mobilization of these lahar deposits.

Last Friday, this city’s Mayor Oscar Rodriguez expressed fears that strong rains would push the volcanic debris downstream and bury southeastern portions of his city, as well as the towns of Minalin and Sto. Tomas.

He recalled that in the 1990’s, the entire town of Bacolor was literally buried by volcanic materials during the series of lahar flows from the Pasig-Potrero.

“There is no re-mobilization (of lahar debris). It was only water with siltation that flowed,” said De los Reyes.

De los Reyes said that the so-called transverse dike across the downstream portion of the Pasig-Potrero remained intact, although some 70 meters of the “tail dike” also in the lower parts of the river, was damaged.

“The tail dike was after all built to capture the volcanic materials flowing down. With no lahar materials flowing, the tail dike has served to dam up water instead,” she said.

The dikes are within the U-shaped megadike built starting 1997, to shield heavily populated communities from lahar flows.

De los Reyes said, however, that downward movement of lahar along the channel is possible during “torrential rains.” She said the recent rains brought by the southwest monsoon was not torrential and did not significantly disturb the deposits on the channel.

While she saw no immediate danger from lahar flow at the Pasig-Potrero, De los Reyes nevertheless noted that some people continue to live within the megadike system.

“It’s not for us to tell them to move out, but we must remember the megadike was built precisely to catch lahar flows within its system to protect outside communities,” she noted.

Gov sends team to Porac mountains

, ,

CITY OF SAN FERNANDO – Pampanga Gov. Lilia Pineda on Wednesday sent a 35-man team that will look into the possible causes of the “unusual” low volume of water along creeks on top of the mountains in Porac and at the town’s two rivers.

The team was also tasked to record on video the landslides and erosions in the area near Mt. Pinatubo caused by torrential rains battered Central Luzon last week.

Pineda’s team of Philippine Army and Pampanga police personnel left Villa Maria, Porac at about 7 a.m Wednesday.

The governor said they will walk uphill for at least seven hours before reaching Miyamit Falls, which is near the southeast portion of Mt. Pinatubo in Zambales province.

Included in the team are Porac municipal workers organized by Mayor Condralito “Carling” De La Cruz to take photos and videos which will be assessed late Wednesday night or Thursday morning by Pineda, engineers, geologists and the Environment Management Bureau (EMB) of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) regional office.

Pineda was alarmed by the reports of Sapang Uwak, Porac Barangay Captain Solis Palo during an emergency meeting on Tuesday afternoon in Guagua town that a “mini-dam” had formed in the village’s Sitio Bani after a landslide occurred.

The Aeta-dominated Sapang Uwak and Villa Maria barangays share borders and are among the villages perched on the hilly portion of Pampanga’s biggest town in terms of land area.

Pineda on Tuesday night ordered the evacuation of women and children living along the banks of the Porac River and Porac-Gumain River as a preemptive measure as risks of flashfloods and landslides rose after days of heavy rain.

LESSONS LEARNED

Roy Imperial, consultant-adviser of the governor who was tasked to assess the video taken on board a Philippine Army Huey helicopter on Tuesday, said Pineda had ordered the evacuation based on the August 14 flashfloods in Masinloc, Zambales.

He added that the more than 350 families living near or at the slopes of a mountain area in Barangays San Lorenzo, Sta. Rita, Baloganon, Sto. Rosario, Tauac and Callat had been evacuated to avoid threats of more possible flash floods spawned by rains.

“It’s better to be safe than sorry and the governor learned a lot from the tragedies caused by flashfloods and landslides in the country,” said Imperial.

Imperial cited the devastating flashfloods and landslides in Ormoc City in 1991; St. Bernard, Southern Leyte in 2006; San Juan Bano, Arayat, Pampanga in 2009; and in Iligan and Cagayan De Oro cities in 2011.

Imperial and other Capitol officials visited the two Mindanao cities on orders of the first-term governor to deliver aid and support after the disaster triggered by “Typhoon Sendong” killed more than 1,000 people.

“More importantly, the EMB’s briefing made the governor pro-active than wait for possible disasters,” said Imperial, who was joined by Second District Board Member Fritzie David-Dizon, former Lubao Mayor Dennis Pineda and, Lubao Mayor Mylyn Pineda-Cayabyab in monitoring the evacuation and reports on the first actual inspection of the “mini-dam” on Tuesday by Villa Maria residents led by village councilor Arnold Reyes.

Noel Lacadin, engineer of the regional EMB who made the briefing to the governor and local officials of Porac, Guagua, Sasmuan, Floridablanca, Lubao and Sta. Rita during the emergency meeting, said the “unusual” lack water on the creeks and rivers in Porac is a “sign” that reservoirs of water are developing in nearby mountain and hilly areas.

He added that the volume of water should have been bigger considering it was raining for days since last week and that low pressure areas and typhoon Helen brought in strong rains in Central and North Luzon since Monday.

AERIAL INSPECTION

Brigadier Gen. Gregorio Catapang, commander of the Philippine Army 703rd brigade based in Arayat, organized an aerial inspection on Tuesday and the team on board the helicopter took videos of the area, including the creeks in Sapang Uwak and the two Porac rivers.

Catapang said his team failed to get video footages on the upper portions of Sapang Uwak and Miyamit Falls because of the bad weather.

Catapang and the Pampanga police led by Supt. Bernard Perez deployed personnel at watch points in Sapang Uwak to warn people of possible landslides and flashfloods.

Pineda said she had ordered the second actual inspection to make a “through report and study” on the reports of local Aeta residents and barangay officials that landslides and erosions occurred allowing the creation of “mini-dams” or water reservoirs.

“This,” she added, “may cause problem to towns near the Porac rivers if the many dams in the mountains break and send rampaging water.”

Pineda stressed her order of evacuation of residents in at least four towns living along the two rivers is a “pre-emptive measure and there is no reason to panic.”

LESS CRITICAL

Porac municipal official Engr. Glenn Lansangan, who organized the first inspection of the all-Aeta team that went up on Tuesday morning, said that based on the “verbal report” of Reyes early Tuesday night after their inspection the “dam” on top of the mountain had “lesser water.”

Lansangan said Pineda’s decision to order an evacuation was “proper on Tuesday night” because “there are indeed landslides and erosions” discovered by Reyes’ team. He added that the erosions caused soils to block the creeks and tributaries in the area.

Lansagan said he had organized an 11-man team composed of Villa Maria officials that left at least two hours before Pineda’s team. They will join the other team in the inspection.

The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) said in radio interview on Wednesday that it will send a “third team” that will join the two groups that left early Wednesday morning.

DFA urged to increase number of Pinoys with dual citizenship

, ,

ONLY around 95,000 Filipinos abroad have regained their citizenship since the Dual Citizenship law was passed in 2003, prompting its author to call on the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) to intensify efforts to increase the number.
Senator Franklin Drilon said the DFA – which defended its P11.64-billion proposed budget for 2013 on Tuesday – should come up with a definite target on the number of Filipinos to be enrolled in the program and detailed communication plan to address any concern.
“The 95,000 is a very small percentage of the universe of former Filipino citizens who could have availed of dual citizenship law,” Drilon told reporters.
Despite the development, the Senate finance committee chaired by Drilon will recommend a higher budget for the agency to acquire buildings to house embassy and consular offices abroad.
At present, the agency is authorized only to use 10 percent of the proceeds from consular services as part of its building fund, which they use to acquire and lease offices and residences abroad, said Drilon.
The senator proposed to double the percentage of the use of consular fund to 20 percent on the condition that it will be used exclusively for acquisition of a chancery or residence.
He requested the DFA to prioritize which consular offices it plans to acquire, and submit the same to the committee for further review. The DFA has 60 embassies and 20 consulate-generals worldwide, which mostly are leased in the amount of P600 million yearly.

House hands off on Arroyo’s health woes

, ,

HOUSE Speaker Feliciano Belmonte Jr. refused Wednesday to comment on the medical condition of former President and now Pampanga Representative Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, who is said to be needing treatment abroad.
“This is not for politicians like us to talk about whether a medical process is needed or not. So far, I have not really heard any single doctor say anything. It is just political leaders saying this and that,” Belmonte said in an ambush interview.
House Minority Leader Danilo Suarez earlier said that Dr. Robert Anastacio, a resident cardiologist at the Makati Medical Center (MMC), has suggested to the former President to consider a neuro-cervical surgery in New York.
Suarez, an Arroyo ally, also said that Anastacio has discovered a lump in Arroyo’s left breast.
“We are at a stage that the jurisdiction over her is with the courts,” Belmonte said, referring to the three hold departure orders (HDOs) issued against Arroyo.
An HDO was issued by the Pasay City Regional Trial Court in relation to the electoral sabotage case, where her petition for bail was earlier granted. Two more HDOs were issued by the Sandiganbayan over separate graft and plunder charges.
Arroyo is currently confined at the MMC.
Suarez said the House minority bloc is considering drafting a resolution asking the leadership “to help in the state of health of Congresswoman Arroyo to be given all possible assistance in terms of professional services here or abroad.”
“I think the resolution will also be supported by some members of the majority because this is a non-partisan issue. There is no political color except the health of a colleague,” he said.
Belmonte declined to comment on the resolution.
But as far as the Commission on Elections (Comelec) is concerned, it would entail another tedious legal battle before the Pasay City court if the Arroyo camp would insist on her medical treatment abroad.
It was the Comelec that filed poll sabotage charges against Arroyo in connection with the 2007 elections late last year.
“As far as the Comelec is concerned, there is no reason for her to leave. They can just bring the equipment here at have her treated,” Comelec Chairman Sixto Brillantes said.
He said they simply cannot allow somebody facing a capital offense to leave the country.

10 major amendments proposed by RH authors

, ,

AUTHORS of the reproductive health (RH) bill have listed 10 major amendments that include the recommendations of President Benigno Aquino III.
House Bill 4244 entered the period of amendments last Tuesday, a week after congressmen terminated the debates upon the instruction of President Benigno Aquino III, who met them in a luncheon in Malacañang.
The list of amendments signed by main proponent Albay Representative Edcel Lagman includes:
1. Deletion on its entirety of Section 20 on Ideal Family Size to obviate criticisms that the RH bill imposes a two-child policy similar to China’s one-child policy.
2. Deletion on its entirety of Section 21 on Employers’ Responsibilities to address the concerns particularly of the organized employers and businessmen in favor of enacting the RH bill. The deleted provision is a reiteration and augmentation of what the Labor Code provides under Article 134, which is deemed presently adequate.
3. Deletion in its entirety of Section 10 on Family Planning Supplies as Essential Medicines to accommodate the objection of some members of the House of Representatives on the classification by law of contraceptives as essential medicines despite the WHO’s prescription and inclusion of contraceptives in its Drug Formulary. In lieu of the deleted provision, the following amendment will be effected to defer the lawful jurisdiction of the Food and Drug Administration: “The Food and Drug Administration shall determine the safety, efficacy and classification of products and supplies for modern family planning methods prior to their distribution, procurement, sale and use.”
4. Amendments will be effected on Section 16 on Mandatory Age Appropriate Reproductive Health and Sexuality Education as follows:
a. As suggested by the President, RH and sex education should start from Grade 6, instead of Grade 5.
b. The qualification that the teaching values formation should be “with due regard to religious affiliation” as suggested by the President.
c.

a. The entire subsection (2) on refusal to perform legal and medically-safe reproductive health procedures shall be rephrased as follows upon the suggested amendments on phraseology by President Aquino:
(2) Refuse to perform legal and medically-safe reproductive health procedures on any person of legal age on the ground of lack of consent or authorization of the following persons in the following circumstances:
1. The lack of marital consent in case of married persons, provided that in case of disagreement, the decision of the one undergoing the procedure shall prevail; and
2. The lack of parental consent or that of the person exercising parental authority in case of abused minors, where the parent or the person exercising parental authority is the respondent, accused or convicted perpetrator as certified by the proper prosecutorial office or the court.
b. The provision requiring a conscientious objector to refer the person requiring family planning service or procedure to a willing health care provider is qualified by the amendment which reads: “Without in anyway agreeing or endorsing the family planning service or procedure required by the persons concerned.”
c. A public official in order to be liable for the prohibited act of banning or restricting the delivery of legal and medically safe reproductive health care services should be an official “charged with the duty to implement the provisions of the Act.”
d. To allay fears of undue curtailment of freedom of expression, the following prohibited act is deleted: Any person who maliciously engages in disinformation about the intent or provision of this Act.
e.

7. To further debunk the existence of the alleged lobby, a new provision on penalties is added: If the offender is a pharmaceutical company, its agent and/or distributor, their license or permit to operate or conduct business in the Philippines shall be perpetually revoked, and a fine triple the amount involved in the violation shall be imposed.
8. To underscore that the bill also requires the State to promote natural methods of family planning, particularly the modern natural methods like the Billings, Symptom-Thermal and Standard Days methods, the President’s proposed amendment as modified shall be effected as follows: Provided, that the State will provide funding support to promote modern natural methods of family planning consistent with the needs of acceptors.
9. To guarantee religious freedom, an amendment proposed by the President shall be incorporated in the bill to effect that “Hospitals owned and operated by a religious group has the option whether or not to provide a full range of modern family planning methods.”
10. In order to emphasize that the RH bill is not a population control measure and he reproductive health care needs of the poor, particularly marginalized women, must be prioritized, the common amendments of partylist Gabriela, Bayan Muna, Anakpawis, Kabataan and ACT Teachers are accepted as follows:
a. Section 3(1) on Guiding Principles is amended to read as: The resources of the country must be made to serve the entire population especially the poor and make allocations adequate and effective.
b. Section 12 on Integration of Responsible Parenthood and Family Planning Components in Anti-Poverty Programs is rephrased to read as: A multi-dimensional approach shall be adopted in the implementation of policies and programs to fight poverty. Towards this end, the DOH shall implement programs that will ensure full access of poor and marginalized women to reproductive health care services, products and programs. The DOH shall provide such programs technical support, including capacity-building and monitoring.
c. The role of the Population Commission as the coordinating body is limited to particular sections of the bill namely Sections 7, 10, 11, 13, 17, 19, 21 and 23. Moreover, it is stressed that the declared national policy which POPCOM is mandated to help implement does not include population control.
Meantime, the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) called on their allied lawmakers to take out so-called “anti-life measures” in the amended version.
CBCP-Episcopal Commission on Family and Life chairman Bishop Gabriel Reyes said these provisions include the distribution of artificial contraceptives among families and workers, as well as the initiation of sex education in schools.
“We are still hoping since there are congressmen who told their bishops that while they will vote yes to the motion to end the interpellation and debates but when the time comes when they are going to vote to approve the RH bill or not, they will vote no. There are congressmen who said so,” said the Antipolo bishop.
A previous survey by the CBCP among their members showed there are 140 votes against the RH bill from lawmakers in their respective dioceses as against the 49 votes for it while 26 are still undecided.

Malacanang: Justice chief accepted her fate

, ,

JUSTICE Secretary Leila de Lima has moved on and accepted her non-inclusion in the shortlist for the next Chief Justice, a Palace official said Wednesday.
“I think that’s water under the bridge now. I just spoke to Secretary Leila de Lima and she is working, performing her role as secretary of Justice,” presidential spokesperson Edwin Lacierda said, adding the President is more comfortable having De Lima in the Department of Justice (DOJ).
De Lima, a perceived frontrunner to the post vacated by ousted Renato Corona last May 29, was disqualified by the Judicial and Bar Council (JBC) last Monday due to her pending disbarment cases.
De said on Tuesday that she was eliminated from the race because some powerful fraternities and personalities wanted her to be excluded.
She also accused the Integrated Bar of the Philippines (IBP), Supreme Court and the JBC of banding together to end her quest by sitting on her cases but the Palace declined to comment.
Malacañang called the shortlist as “long shortlist” since eight names were included, namely: Senior Associate Justice Antonio Carpio, Associate Justices Roberto Abad, Arturo Brion, Maria Lourdes Sereno and Teresita Leonardo de-Castro, Solicitor General Francis Jardeleza, former Executive Secretary and San Juan Representative Ronaldo Zamora, and former Ateneo law dean Cesar Villanueva.
President Benigno Aquino III already received the shortlist but his spokespersons were clueless on what will be his next step.
Lacierda likewise dispelled questions whether the President is already contented with the shortlist or he will give it back to the JBC for revision, an action that he never did since assuming office on June 30, 2010.
Aquino’s appointees to the High Court are Justices Sereno, Estela Perlas-Bernabe, and Bienvenido Reyes.
The JBC had said that it will not revise the list if the President dislikes it.
There were two incidents during the time of former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo when she returned the JBC shortlist for a Supreme Court vacancy.
Arroyo returned the list when Reynato Puno was the Chief Justice and ex-officio chairman of the JBC apparently because she did not like the names in the shortlist. Puno, however, returned the list with the same names on it.
She did the same when the JBC was chaired by then Supreme Court Justice Hilario Davide as she wanted to accommodate someone for the vacancy in the High Tribunal. Arroyo’s attempt also failed as Davide junked her request.
President Aquino has until August 27 to make a decision on who will head the judiciary.

PamCham lauds Capitol, Public Works office

, ,

ARAYAT — Officials of the Pampanga Chamber of Commerce and Industry Inc. (PamCham) lauded Wednesday the Provincial Government, Provincial Engineer’s Office and the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) First Engineering District for being “proactive and not reactive” in swiftly implementing palliative measures for flood control infrastructure like the setback levee in Cupang, Arayat.
On Wednesday, PamCham Chairman Emeritus Levy P. Laus, president Jim Jimenez, directors Alfrito Mah, Tony Koh and Joyce Duldulao, along with First Engineering District officer-in-charge Engr. Rico Guilas, Provincial Engineer Andy Austria and Cupang village chief Leonardo Salac, inspected and assessed the risks posed by high, strong waters if rains continue.
Branded as “a disaster in the making,” the 50-year-old dike, if damaged, would wreak havoc in the towns of Arayat, Sta. Ana, Mexico, and the City of San Fernando.
Officials said, however, that after evaluating the situation, the condition of the protective infrastructure is “not alarming and not critical.”
Remedial measures have started Tuesday and will resume today after being hampered by heavy rains, officials told Sun.Star Pampanga.
“We would like to thank the Provincial Government led by our Governor Lilia Pineda and the DPWH for being proactive in responding to the threats in Cupang. Even if the measures are palliative, hindi na natin kailangan pang hintayin na may masira at then later on pa lang magre-react. Ayaw na natin na maulit ang nangyari recently,” Jimenez said.
‘Band aid’ for the last line of defense
Guilas said the necessary equipment like cranes, jumbo sandbags, and bamboo cribs are now in the area, together with manpower that will work on the “band aid” slope protection of what he called the “last line of defense” of Pampanga against massive flooding.
“The measures are palliative until we get approval for its permanent solution in the program we have submitted to central office for bidding. We will immediately resume work on the portions at risk with the help of the Provincial Engineer’s Office. The state of the setback levee is not alarming and could be managed,” said Guilas.
Salac, for his part, added that Governor Pineda has been closely coordinating with him and barangay officials.
“Hindi nga po alarming ang kondisyon ng dike pero kailangang magawa na. Ang atin pong gobernadora ay nakikipag-coordinate sa amin at sa mga opisyal natin, kasama ang mga taga private sector upang maproteksiyunan ang setback levee. Nagpapasalamat po kaming lahat sa kanila sa mga hakbang na ito,” Salac said.
