CALAPAN CITY, Oriental Mindoro, September 29 (PIA) -- Amidst the battering of typhoon Pedring last Tuesday, the local government units (LGUs) in Oriental Mindoro led by the provincial government conducted yesterday a strategy meeting and agreed to formulate long and short term solutions on the province’s perennial flood problem. | |||
During the meeting, they agreed to rehabilitate its stream and riverbanks that cause floods on many areas here, especially in this city and Naujan town, through the joint tree planting undertaking to be implemented this second week of October. | |||
Oriental Mindoro Governor Alfonso V. Umali, Jr. emphasized during the meeting he presided at the provincial capitol square here September 27 that while the LGUs in this province are drawing up so many flood mitigation plans, such as the dike proposal as studied by the Norwegian Agency for International Development (NORAD) and the creation of a big Sabo dam which was proposed by researchers from the University of the Philippines (UP), LGU leaders and the concerned or affected sectors should rush the implementation of short and medium term plans to avoid another negative or disastrous effects by this rainy season. | |||
Umali noted the massive floodings that were experienced by Oriental Mindoro in 1998 and successively in 2005-2007 should serve as stern reminders to everyone here and to institute a united effort to avert it nowadays and in the near future. | |||
It can be recalled that during the last part of 2005 to 2007, thousands of Mindoreños were severely affected and millions of pesos worth of public and private properties such as rice fields and other properties had been destroyed by floods spawned by continuous heavy rainfall. | |||
Meanwhile, the former mayor of Naujan town here, Nelson Melgar, reported that the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) here is prioritizing the study and immediate implementation of flood control project on another big and critical river here, the Mag-Asawang Tubig River. He said that no less than DPWH Secretary Rogelio Singson told them in a letter to Umali that the department is tasking its flood control and Sabo engineering to oversee it. (J.R. Mahusay/Louie T.
