MANILA, Philippines—Senator Richard “Dick” Gordon demanded better supervision of the National Irrigation Administration to avoid a repeat of the disastrous floods that submerged Cagayan and Isabela after the onslaught of Typhoon Ulysses. What is important is that NIA is properly supervised,” said Gordon in a statement. In the Red Cross we have the four Ps, you have to predict the danger, plan what you will need. Learn it, then you have to prepare and you practice,” said Gordon. Cagayan, Isabela, and other neighboring provinces were submerged in floodwaters after Maagat Dam released water following Typhoon Ulysses’ landfall.
