The city faces a P5-billion funding gap so Mandaue City Mayor Jonas Cortes wants to pool resources and manpower.
Rappler takes a closer look at the issues and projects concerning the Butuanon River.The city government recorded 88-millimeters rainfall within 1.5 hours on September 9.Experts at the MCDRRMO said water in the Butuanon River’s watershed rose to a level that could cover more than two persons.
Architect Marlo Ocleasa, head of the City Planning and Development Office told Rappler in an interview that phase 1 of the CDMP was completed in 2018 while phase 2 was completed in 2020. The city government appropriated a P100-million budget funded by the national government for the creation of a diversion channel. But the amount had to be “diverted” back to the national government because the permit approval from the Department of Environment and Natural Resources came in too late, Ocleasa told Rappler.
Mandaue City Research & Planning Section chief Karlo Cabahug said in a media forum on Tuesday, September 13, that with the city under a state of calamity, financial distributions can be immediately provided to affected families. The medium-rise housing structure is currently being developed in Barangay Tipolo, near the Cebu International Convention Center .
