Archival assures measures to solve flooding is a priority
The Freeman
|July 28, 2025
Saying that declogging and desilting are just “immediate” responses to the flooding problem, Cebu City Mayor Nestor Archival Sr. assured that a sustainable program to solve flooding is in the pipeline.
-
The mayor issued the statement following an assessment made by an independent structural engineer who said that the declogging and desilting efforts to ease the flooding are merely a band-aid solution.
In an interview, Archival clarified that while desilting and declogging may be considered a band-aid solution by some, they are immediate responses that can yield results.
He said it has been evident that despite flooding in the city after a heavy downpour, the water flow immediately subsides.
Archival said that with the ongoing desilting and declogging efforts, the water flow will be further improved, as these activities will remove the waste that clogged up the drainage systems and city rivers.
He added that desilting and declogging will also enlarge the capacity of rivers and creeks.
