Anticipating heavy rains, Manila opens floodgate to address frequent flooding

[Starmix]

According to the report, a floodgate near the Manila Yacht Club, in a portion of Manila Bay, was opened on Wednesday (July 16) to help ease flooding in parts of Manila. The move was led by Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) Chair Atty. Don Artes and Manila Mayor Isko Moreno. Moreno said they’ve been receiving many complaints about floods, particularly in areas like Kalaw, Faura, Taft Avenue, and the southern parts of Manila. He added that the move was in preparation for the continuous rains expected in the coming weeks and aimed to open a previously blocked major water outflow leading to Manila Bay.

Good job, Mayor Moreno. Hoping floods won't attack Manila and nearby cities. People must not throw their garbage in the canals, which could cause clogging and the flood from passing, causing overflowing and extensive flooding.

Thank Providence that your local government council is thoughtful and really want to help the masses. In some countries, every avenue is a means to lot the treasury. Government should be transparent and functional.

Mayor Isko Moreno is the best Mayor in Manila, Hoping the successive rain next week won't cause flood after the Manila floodgate is opened. Good work Mayor Moreno. You're the best.
