“ Flood control cannot be solved by dredging alone. It requires continuous maintenance, proper waste disposal, better drainage systems, and the cooperation of every Mandauehanon. But this project is an important step toward a cleaner, safer, and more resilient Mandaue ,” said Mayor Jonkie Ouano .
According to the City officials, this initiative aims to improve the river’s water flow and drainage capacity, which are expected to help lessen the risk of flooding in nearby communities, especially during heavy rains.
