DILG exec says LGUs mandated to ensure structures are built in safe areas
Undersecretary Marlo Iringan of the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) tells the Manila Times that local government units (LGUs) have a mandate to enforce stricter policies to ensure that no structures are built in high risk areas. During the Philippine Model Cities and Municipalities Awards of The Manila Times at The Manila Hotel on Nov. 14, 2025, Iringan said the devastation of Typhoon Tino in Cebu was not just a product of natural disaster, but also of man-made vulnerabilities and failures.
