WHERE’S THE FLOOD CONTROL? Despite a multi-million peso budget and a December deadline, the Flood Mitigation Structure in Lapuz District by the Department of Public Works and Highways remains unfinished. Budburan-Mansaya Creek is still un-rehabilitated, overgrown with vegetation, and shows no visible sign of the promised structure. Surrounding barangays, which were among those heavily flooded last month, blame defective or incomplete flood control projects across the city. The situation has fueled public frustration and intensified calls for a full investigation into public works along Iloilo City’s waterways.
