P4-B mega dike to solve flooding in Camanava

The ongoing construction of the P4-billion mega dike project of President Arroyo in the Camanava (Caloocan, Malabon, Navotas, Valenzuela) area is expected to solve the perennial flooding in the area, especially in Navotas and Malabon.

During a Pulong Bayan and distribution of Certificates of Entitlement to Lot Allotment (CELA) held at the Plaza Rodriguez Amphitheater in Malabon last Thursday night, the President and her runningmate Sen. Noli de Castro discussed the government’s action to solve the almost daily flooding in some parts of Camanava due to high tide.

"In resolving the almost daily flooding in Camanava, particularly in Malabon and Navotas area, the construction of the P4-billion mega dike was started during my administration," said Mrs. Arroyo to the applause of thousands of residents who trooped to the amphitheater to show their support for her in the May 10 elections.

Housing and Urban Development Coordinating Council chairman Amado Bagatsing, National Home Mortgage Finance Corp., president Angelico Salud and Malabon officer-in-charge Mark Allan Jay Yambao witnessed the awarding of CELAs and Community Mortgage Program Certificates of Award to several community organizations.
