Mamba said an inquiry would provide the provincial government with information for the possible filing of charges against the dam management.
“An investigation by any of the agencies would be our basis to decide if we really have to fight it out with them and get what should be ours,” Mamba said in an interview with “The Chiefs” aired on Cignal TV’s OneNews/TV5 on Monday night.
Vice President Leni Robredo has also expressed support for an investigation into the flooding in Cagayan and Isabela during the onslaught of Typhoon Ulysses last week.
Mamba blamed Magat Dam for the floods in the province after water from the dam was released as Ulysses pummeled the country.
