The widespread flooding caused by the discharge of excess water by the three dams in Bulacan province last week left at least P17 million worth of damage to the local agriculture sector, authorities said. /PDI
Data from the PDRRMO showed that the severe flooding damaged nearly 486 hectares of rice farms, 40 ha of vegetables and other crops, and 49 ha of fishery facilities. More than 300 farmers were also affected by the floods.
On Thursday, Gov. Daniel Fernando blamed what he described as the “mismanagement” of the three dams for the massive floods that hit the province and the failure of the operators to coordinate with the provincial government. Fernando said the lack of preemptive measures by the dam operators, such as the gradual release of water from the dams, resulted in the “destructive” flooding.
