| |
| MALOLOS CITY, Bulacan --Intensive rainfall that pounded many parts of Bulacan inundated at least 116 villages in 12 towns and 3 cities, the Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (PDRRMC) on Tuesday night.
| |
|
| |
| The hardest hit was the capital city of Malolos, where 29 villages were submerged under one to four feet of raging floodwaters, turning many roads into virtual rivers.
| |
|
| |
| This is the first time that Malolos City was hit by this kind of flooding. The rains were indeed so intense that brought so much waters, said PDRRMC chairman Gov. Wilhelmino M. Sy-Alvarado, who personally supervised operations at the PDRRMC command center at the provincial capitol here, together with Vice Gov. Daniel Fernando.
| |
|
| |
| Trucks carrying rescue teams and relief goods were dispatched to heavily flooded areas.
| |
|
| |
| He said emergency response teams were on 24 hours alert, ready to respond at any given time.
| |
|
| |
| Raging floodwaters submerged 16 villages in Calumpit (one to two feet), 11 villages in Obando (one to six feet), eight in Marilao (one to six feet), seven in Guiguinto (one to two feet), six each in Balagtas, Baliwag, Bocaue (one to two feet), five each in Pulilan and Bulakan (one to two feet), four in Plaridel (one to two feet), thre in Meycauayan City (one to four feet), two in San Jose del Monte City (two feet) and one in Sta. Maria (one foot).
| |
|
| |
| As a result, the governor maintained suspension of classes at all levels in the province on Wednesday, Aug 8.
| |
|
| |
| He, however, pointed out that all government institutions related to health, relief and rescue operations are required to report in these crucial times.
| |
|
| |
| Alvarado also disclosed that Ipo dam had began reducing the volume of excess waters towards Bustos dam — from 856 cubic meters per second at 11 a.m. to 300 cms at 2 p.m. to 250 at 4 p.m.
| |
|
| |
| The gradual release will help the Bustos dam to stabilize its water holding capacity.
| |
|
| |
| As of 12 noon Tuesday, the water elevation at Angat dam was 204.3 meters, still below its spilling level of 210 meters.
| |
|
| |
| The water elevation at Ipo dam as of 12 noon was 101.81 meters, breaching its spilling level of 100.50 meters by 1.31 meters.

| Senate bets promise to prioritize rehabilitation of water resources<br>

| |
|
| |
| MALOLOS CITY, Bulacan , Philippines – Senatorial candidates from the the Liberal Party (LP) and the Nacionalista Party (NP) yesterday promised to support the rehabilitation of water resources and infrastructure in the country.
| |
|
| |
| LP senatorial candidate Dr. Martin Bautista said reforestation is the most effective way to retain water supply.
| |
|
| |
| He also proposed a total ban on logging, establishment of seedling banks, compulsory tree planting for Filipinos aged 12 to 65, and dredging of waterways.
| |
|
| |
| NP senatorial candidate Susan Ople, who comes from the coastal town of Hagonoy in Bulacan, said the country’s water resources should be rehabilitated to suit the changing climate because a slight rise in sea water levels can displace settlers of coastal towns and destroy their livelihood.
| |
|
| |
| Neric Acosta, also from LP, said water supply is the foundation of economic development.
| |
|
| |
| “Water is life itself. Without it, there would be no society,” he said.
| |
|
| |
| Local candidates in the province also urged the protection of the Angat watershed, which is threatened by illegal logging.
| |
|
| |
| The Angat Dam supplies 97 percent of Metro Manila’s water requirement.
| |
|
| |
| Gubernatorial candidate Willy Alvarado said fishpond operators lose their fish stocks due to heavy runoff during typhoon season.
| |
|
| |
| Edwin Santos, who is running for mayor of Obando, proposed the creation of a coastal road to link Obando to Navotas because 25 percent of the town becomes flooded during high tide and heavy rainfall.
| |
|
| |
| “How can you develop a town like Obando when all dry land goes underwater?” he said.
| |
|
| |
| Environmental group Greenpeace earlier stressed the need to upgrade water infrastructure to suit extreme weather events like the heavy flooding in the metropolis brought by tropical storm “Ondoy” in September last year, and the ongoing El Niño phenomenon.
| |
|
| |
| Greenpeace called for the implementation of the Rainwater Harvesting law that was enacted in 1989.
| |
|
| |
| The law mandates the Department of Public Works and Highways to construct rainwater collectors in every barangay.
