Cebu City dads want answers on the non-implementation of P1.3B flood control project

The project, if completed, was expected to help address flooding problems here, said Councilor Jerry Guardo, head of the Committee on Infrastructure of the Cebu City Council.

In its Annual Audit Report for 2022, the Commission Audit said that the contractor only managed to complete the design of the flood control project. However, they were no longer able to ‘transition’ to the actual construction phase of the City’s Comprehensive “Design and Build” Drainage Project worth P1.328 billion.

All these deficiencies “compromised” the city’s social and economic interests, COA said in its report.“While our city has done measures that include regular cleaning of our drainage system, dredging of our rivers and creeks, and ongoing implementation of the three-meter easement along our rivers, still the same is not enough,” he said during his speech.

In April 2021, under the administration of the late mayor Edgardo Labella, the Cebu City government entered into contract with a Manila City-based firm for the implementation of its Comprehensive “Design and Build” Drainage Project.
