The Region 2 Regional Democratic Council and other pertinent agencies have been working to koker to rectify the problem.

“So far, a temporary stop door is being installed and the original door removed, and the National Drainage and Irrigation Authority (NDIA) is working towards installing a new steel door subsequently,” CDC reported.

The CDC said while rice lands and approximately 25 houses were affected, there was no report of flood waters inundating the homes of residents. “The tide has subsided somewhat and the flood waters are being discharged to the ocean,” the CDC reported.

It assured that the area will be monitored closely by the Taskforce, and all relevant stakeholders are on alert
