Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) chairman Romando Artes on Wednesday warned that the entire National Capital Region (NCR) will be submerged in flood if pumping stations are removed.

The MMDA chief made the remark after Senator Cynthia Villar refuted his statement that all the 71 pumping stations in Metro Manila are operating at 100 percent capacity.

“You have to study ‘yung sinasabi mo na you have very successful, napakaraming pumping station. I don’t think so kasi ‘yung pumping station namin hindi natakbo,” she added. “Lulubog po ang buong Metro Manila pag inalis po natin lahat ng pumping stations,” the MMDA chairman responded.
