City Councilor Edna Dahino has asked officials of the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH 10) to coordinate with the local government units in terms of cleaning-up each sewerage system assignments in national and local area.
Dahino, who is a member of the Committee on Public Works, said no coordination between the DPWH and the city has caused the unsolved clogging of the drainage in the flooded area.
“Unfortunately wala ako’y nakit-an nga nagkauban kining duha ka group aron masulbad ang problema sa drainage dinhi sa Cagayan de Oro. How many clean-up activities ang gakahitabo (in a year),” she said.
Dahino said for the past few decades, no coordination between two parties that could be another factor of unsolved clogging-up condition of all drainage in the city.
“Limpyo na unta tanan and ready na for any disaster or flashflood that might come. That should be our thinking,” Dahino said.
For his part, Engr. Leowald Pecore, DPWH 10 chief for planning division, admitted that district DPWH office has not coordinated with the local government in all their regular activities in cleaning canals along the national highways.
“Ang problema ani kay gi-koveran sa semento ang old canals to have a bigger highway,” he said. (Lito Rulona)
