THE city’s ongoing flood mitigation project in Sitio Calarin & Tranquilinio-Siapno Rd. Brgy. Malued going to Old De Venecia is expected to provide an effective access road, even during high tide or heavy rainfall. Mayor Belen T. Fernandez and City Engr. Josephine Corpuz conducted an onsite inspection on May 31, to make sure that the project specifications are strictly followed, and that there will be no delay.

The mayor said 24 road projects for this year are already being lined up, while some of the “much needed” infrastructure projects await the budget approval of the 7 majority councilors in the Sangguniang Panlungsod. Mayor Fernandez also shared that part of the flood mitigation program is the “Operation Sitio”, a bayanihan project that helps residents in building a road and drainage system that will eventually connect to the elevated roads.
