                    [Summary] => When Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo assumed the presidency, a school-building program was immediately put into effect. The goal? To build schools in 1,617 remote, hazardous and depressed barangays in a span of three years. And along with these structures would come the teachers, desks, tables and chairs for the students. The plan would be independent of the Department of Education’s school-building projects.

Valenzuela residents are complaining over the slow pace of repair work by the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) elevating the flood-prone portion of McArthur Highway in Malanday, Valenzuela City to as high as five feet. After more than a year, the road remains unfinished and the stagnant water have become more dangerous to motorists.

Work on a viaduct that would connect NAIA directly to the South Superhighway is set to start next year. Bidding for the project is scheduled for October.

"The NAIA expressway will ease traffic in the area," Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Assistant Secretary Salvador Pleyto, said in an interview.

DPWH-National Capital Region director Antonio Sta. Ana said workers are waiting for the rains to stop before carrying out road repair work, mostly asphalting potholes.

"Asphalting work on roads can’t be applied when it rains because asphalt becomes less effective when it gets wet," Sta. Ana said.

It was revealed that the relocation of the illegal settlers was one of the major issues discussed during consultations between the MMDA and the Department of Public Works and Highways on the transfer of flood-control functions.

For the second straight week, parts of Metro Manila were submerged under floodwater due to heavy rains since Friday.
