While supporting President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.’s order to construct water-impounding facilities near Metro Manila in a bid to control flooding and ensure water supply in Luzon, a lawmaker on Thursday said such facilities should only be supplementary, and the government’s greater objective should be the restoration of the country’s forest cover.
“Water-impounding facilities are a good idea. These could boost our flood mitigation efforts and provide additional water for irrigation and other needs, especially amid El Niño,” he said. Besides being briefed on flood control projects, Marcos was also apprised of the P5.86-billion rainwater collection system program under Republic Act No. 6716 and the installation of 6,002 rainwater collection systems nationwide.
“Given how crucial forests are, our government should prioritize the restoration of our forest cover. And we are confident that this is also top of mind of the President,” he added.
