Francis Zamora: NCR's old drainage system needs review to curb flooding
San Juan City Mayor Francis Zamora, the head of the Metro Manila Council (MMC),on Sunday said the drainage system in the National Capital Region needs re-assessment to address the current flooding situation. 'Ang drainage system sa Metro Manila luma na,' Zamora told Super Radyo dzBB. LIVE sa DZBB: San Juan City Mayor Francis Zamora (@franciszamora30), president, Metro Manila Council ????: 594 kHz AM band ????: ????: — DZBB Super Radyo (@dzbb) August 3, 2025 'Kailangan talaga aaralin talaga ang ating drainage system at gumawa ng isang masterplan na kakayanin yung population, current volume ng ulan, climate change, [at] problema ng basura,' he added. (The drainage system in Metro Manila is old. We need to study our drainage system and craft a masterplan that can handle our population, current volume of rain, climate, and problems with garbage.) Citing Interior and Local Government Secretary Jonvic Remulla, Zamora said one person generates around one kilo of trash per day. 'Kung 15 million tayo sa (If we're 15 million in) Metro Manila, that's 15 million kilos ng (of) trash (daily),' Zamora said. He noted that these garbage is usually disposed in rivers, creeks, and drainages, causing clogging that leads to flooding. 'May mga drainage system na tinayuan ng bahay and ibang structures. Kailangan talaga i-imbentaryo lahat ng drainage system,' he added. (Some drainage systems have been built over with houses and other structures. It is important to assess all drainage systems.) Last week, the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority reported over 500 flood incidents in Metro Manila in the last 24 hours amid the heavy downpour brought about by the Southwest Monsoon (Habagat) and the trough of the low pressure area (LPA). Based on data gathered by GMA Integrated News Research, the Department of Public Works and Highways received around P980.25 billion budget for flood control projects from 2023 to 2025. — Mariel Celine Serquiña
