'Tidal
flood in Dagupan blamed on climate
change
"FLOODING occurs in Dagupan no matter
how we dredge".
This was the reaction of City Administrator
Alvin Fernandez, to call for more
dredging activities to mitigate the
regular flooding in some coastal areas
of Dagupan every time high tide occurs.
"He stressed that the flooding in
areas near river banks is caused by the
phenomenon of climate change, which can
not be prevented "even if we dredge the
river."

provisions for salt and pepper shakers, paper napkins
and containers for condiments on the table, he would
like to see restaurants provide a bottle of alcohol or
hand sanitizer in all tables as well.

Sangguniang Kabataaan Elections that totaled
118,520, all of whom were 15-17 years old.
