Greg The Gasataya. Department of Public Works and Highways along Lacson inspected Street the and drainage discovered system that the manhole was full of garbage, particularly plastic wastes. Really? Not really a surprise.
Because of the garbage, flood waters cannot flow down the drain. But when the garbage was removed, the water on the streets started to flow down the drainage system. Gasataya requested the DPWH to continue its declogging operations of the drainage sys
tems to prevent flooding. Frankly, he pegged the problem wrong. Blame not the floods on bad engineering, but the bad attitude of Bacoleños.
Just go around downtown, the public markets. You see adult men and women throw their plastic wastes in the streets while law enforcers look the other way. Are they even aware of City Ordinance No. 596, Series of 2012?
