+ April 13, 2021 CLOGGED drainage systems caused the street flooding in Davao City during a heavy downpour Saturday evening, April 10, 2021, Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio said.
In a radio interview on Monday, April 12, the mayor said the Davao City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (CDRRMO) reported during their department heads meeting the list of areas that were flooded on Saturday evening.
“Barado ang drainage. Ang monitoring report sa street flooding akong giingnan na ipasa sa City Engineer’s Office (CEO) aron maka-review sila og unsay hinungdan. Pero mubalik gihapon na sa barado tungod sa naglain-laing mga rason (The drainage [systems] were clogged. I told CDRRMO to forward their monitoring report on street flooding to the City Engineer’s Office so they can review it and find out the cause. But it will all boil down to clogged drainage due to several reasons), Duterte-Carpio said in an interview on 87.5 FM
