“ Residents have expressed positive feedback on the completed structures, noting their effectiveness in reducing flooding and improving road accessibility during periods of heavy rainfall ,” De Guzman said.
These accomplishments support the national government’s disaster resilience agenda under President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.’s Kontra Baha Program, which seeks to strengthen flood management systems, improve drainage infrastructure, and reduce the vulnerability of communities to flooding and other climate-related hazards.
The completed projects are located in several flood-prone barangays, including Palacian and San Francisco in Aglipay; Diduyon, Lusod, Manglad, San Pedro, Sto. Niño, Villa Hermosa Sur, and Cabaruan in Maddela; Ponggo, San Dionisio II, and Sangbay in Nagtipunan; and Gamis in Saguday.
