MANILA, Philippines -- Following this week's heavy rains and flooding, Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) Bayani Fernando has promised resident of the National Capital Region a flood-free metropolis by next year.
HOY BF! ANONG AUGUST 2008 NA! BINABAHA PA RIN METRO MANILA.
"The public can expect a flood-free Metro Manila when the Camanava (Caloocan, Malabon, Navotas and Valenzuela) Flood Control projects and the new West Manggahan pumping station become operational next year," he said.
In a statement, Fernando said the operation of the West Manggahan pumping station at the boundary of Taytay and Cainta in Rizal would soon be turned over by the Department of Public Works and Highways to the MMDA.
The decision to place the station under the MMDA was attributed to his agency's bigger number of flood control personnel, Fernando said.
Equipped with four huge mechanical pumps, the West Manggahan station can serve, among other towns, Taytay, Cainta, and Pateros, as well as Pasig City and other eastern suburbs, by keeping water flowing to the main tributaries, he added.
Fernando said the Camanava Flood Control projects would also fall under the control of the MMDA once they become operational next year.
The completion of the Spine pumping station is expected next year, along with the Catmon and Bangkulasi pumping stations in Malabon and Navotas, respectively.
Fernando also took pride in what he called the "fast recession" of flash floods caused storm Chedeng.
He attributed this to "relentless flood mitigating measures such as cleaning and clearing of illegal settlers…along waterways and other danger areas in Metro Manila."
