A floodgate near the Manila Yacht Club, in a portion of Manila Bay, was opened on Wednesday (July 16) to help ease flooding in parts of Manila.
The move was led by Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) Chair Atty. Don Artes and Manila Mayor Isko Moreno.
Moreno said they’ve been receiving many complaints about floods, particularly in areas like Kalaw, Faura, Taft Avenue, and the southern parts of Manila.
He added that the move was in preparation for the continuous rains expected in the coming weeks, and aimed to open a previously blocked major water outflow leading to Manila Bay.
