ORMOC CITY,
Leyte, June 9 (PNA) -- With the onset of the rainy season, the Department of
Public Works and Highways (DPWH) in northwest Leyte is seeking for the release
of PHP100 million flood control projects.
The amount
will be used to put up retaining walls on the primary tributaries of
Calingatnan, Bacan and Palanas, all in neighboring Albuera town, said District
Engineer Lino Francisco Gonzales.
At present,
the DPWH 4th Leyte engineering district is building a PHP50 million dike on the
bank of Pagsangaan River in Lilo-an, here in Ormoc.
It is also
set to begin constructing a similar structure worth PHP10 million several
kilometers upstream to protect a relocation site from floods.
Moreover,
the district office received last December a late release of PHP8 million from
the 2014 budget of DPWH for the protection of Pagsangaan Bridge. (PNA)
