Andaya reveals disparity in flood control budgets 21 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy Ben RosarioFlood-prone and densely populated Tondo, Manila, will receive only P74 million while sparsely peopled and a safely tucked town in Bicol will get P325 million for their respective flood control projects. Instead, the Lower House will call to the probe Flood Control Mitigation Director Patrick Gatan to explain government’s flood control mitigation priorities next year. Andaya said Diokno and Presidential spokesman Salvador Panelo were apparently “misinformed” about Presiden Duterte’s stand on the Road Board. The bill was passed on third reading by the Lower House but was later recalled by the chamber before Senate could adopt the House version.
