Brace for worse floods - DENR
The Philippine Star
|September 07, 2024
Unless drastic measures are implemented, the flooding in Marikina, Pasig and Cainta in Rizal will become worse, according to an official of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR).
At a press conference yesterday, Environment Undersecretary Carlos David blamed urbanization for the floods in Rizal and other Metro Manila areas amid the rains brought by Tropical Storm Enteng and the southwest monsoon.
David admitted that there is no overnight solution to the flooding in Metro Manila and nearby provinces.
He said additional development in the upstream portion of Marikina, San Mateo and Rodriguez would result in more floods in downstream portions of Cainta, Marikina and Pasig.
