DON'T BLAME
NAPOCOR ALONE
FVR: Arroyo gov't
also accountable
ASINGAN--Don't just blame the flood on
the officials of the San Roque
Multi-Purpose Dam Project (SRMDP) and
the National Power Corporation (Napocor).
This was the message sent by
former President Fidel V. Ramos as he
cited faulty flood control dikes and the
abolition of the Agno River Basin
Development Commission (ARBDC) in 2004
by the Arroyo administration as among
the major causes of the massive flooding
that affected most Pangasinan towns and
cities in the wake of Typhoon Pepeng on
October 9. |
IA history of deluge every 37 years
By Leonardo V. Micua
WAS it mere coincidence or was the
city destined to suffer the worst flood yet after 37
years?
The three worst floods that
have swept over Pangasinan in recorded memory occurred
37 years of each other. Does that mean, the city can
expect the next killer flood in 2046? |
VIEWPOINTS
Climate
Change
By +Oscar V. Cruz D. D.
When the matter of "Climate Change”, "Global Warming"
and related concerns were first brought to the formal
attention of the world, at first there was shock. This
was followed by worry that in some way ended in doubt if
not downright rejection by some members of the world of
science and technology due to counter arguments of their
own. Eventually however, there have been some concrete
moves taken and particular resolves made specifically to
counter and thereby respond to the already felt adverse
climate effects in certain parts of the globe. |
Dagupan council to
question NPC on dam water release
AFTER the Senate, local legislative
bodies race to likewise question officials of the San
Roque Power Corporation (SRPC) and National Power
Corporation (NPC) on the release of huge volume of
excess water from the San Roque Dam at the height of
Typhoon “Pepeng”.
The Dagupan City Council has set its
own fact-finding investigation in aid of legislation on
the matter, and invited officials of the two agencies to
appear on Monday.
