Capitol to fund 2 drainage projects in Minglanilla
August 06, 2025
|The Freeman
Cebu Governor Pamela S. Baricuatro has greenlit over P61 million worth of drainage outfall projects in Barangay Calajoan, Minglanilla—an urgent infrastructure push aimed at finally addressing the area's flooding woes.
-
In an interview, Minglanilla Mayor Rajiv Enad confirmed the approval of two major drainage outfall projects, a result of their recent visit to Governor Baricuatro’s office where they presented the town’s long-pending request for flood mitigation support.
“Gov. Pam has been very warm and accommodating. Nangayo mi niya karon ug duha ka drainage projects sa Barangay Calajoan kay kato nga area affected pud intawn sa baha kung mag-uwan,” Enad said.
According to the mayor, Baricuatro committed to implementing the projects after more than a year of delays in securing support from the Capitol for the drainage systems.
In a Facebook post of Enad, he stated: “Kining problema nato sa duha ka dalan, diin maabot taga hawak ang baha, ako nang gipaabot sa Kapitolyo niadto pang 2023. Gipasaligan ta nga trabahoon ug gisigehan nato’g follow up, pero wala gyud maatiman.”
The two approved outfalls include a P44.3-million project stretching from Estoy Vulcanizing Shop to Baybayon, and a P16.7-million project covering the Skina TESDA to Baybayon route—both vital corridors that experience severe water accumulation during storms.
“Kung matuman kini, dako gyud ni’g ikatabang sa mga lumulupyo ngadtong dapita,” he noted.
Enad emphasized that the drainage projects would also benefit the provincial road, explaining that road repairs would not be effective without proper drainage systems in place.
