A ranking congressman has asked newly-installed Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Secretary Vince Dizon to make the agency's ₱250.8-billion flood control plan for 2026 more attuned to the needs of flood-prone provinces.
According to House Minority Leader 4Ps Party-list Rep. Marcelino “Nonoy” Libanan, billions of pesos have been poured into flood mitigation projects that fail to protect the provinces most vulnerable to flooding.
Libanan raised this crucial point during the DPWH budget hearing with the Committee on Appropriations Friday, Sept. 5, which was attended by Dizon.
