MANILA - Cagayan Gov.

Manuel Mamba on Wednesday urged the national government to improve the Cagayan river to save the province from destructive flooding and spur economic activities in northern Luzon.

"I hope you could help us out now because our province in northern Luzon... we do not even enjoy kahit mga Chinese lang sana na turista dito sa amin ," he said. Reopening the port in Aparri, situated in the northern tip of mainland Luzon, can easily boost trade and tourism in the Cagayan Valley region, the governor said.
