Mayor Isko rues years of neglect, absence of desiltation
Manila Bulletin
|July 24 2025
Manila Mayor Francisco “Isko Moreno” Domagoso on Wednesday, July 23, rued the years of neglect and the absence of desiltation which may have been the major factors why the city has been suffering from flooding.
Domagoso said this as he led an early morning inspection of the city’s drainage system, starting with the opening of manholes along Taft Avenue.
The operation revealed years of neglect, with canals clogged by thick sludge, trash, and even vehicle parts.
