Sanitation project

DAVAO CITY – A coastal village here will be the site of the P300million Sanitation Embankment Project (SEP) of the Department of Science and Technology in Region 11 (DOST-11). Barangay 76-A in Bucana was chosen primarily because of its its proximity to the Davao River. DOST-11 Regional Director Anthony Sales said the project has already been approved by the City Council as part of its cleanup drive of this city’s water sources. The fund for the project will come from the People’s Survival Fund, created by Republic Act 10174 and intended for local government units and accredited organizations to implement climate change adaptation projects.
