Mayor Joy Belmonte urged barangay officials to report all ongoing and completed projects within their jurisdictions that will be consolidated for submission to the President and included in a flood control audit.

In District 4 alone, the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) has implemented or is carrying out 54 flood control projects worth P4.15 billion.

Belmonte emphasized the need for coordination between the local government and national agencies, citing City Ordinance SP-2939, S-2020, which requires national government agencies to obtain a certificate of coordination from the city before starting any project.
