P716M Mambaling underpass
A PRESENTATION by representatives of DPWH to the Cebu City Council of the plan to solve the flooding caused by the Mambaling underpass revived the anger of a number of councilors over the national agency s handling of the almost P800 million project.
Vice Mayor Mike Rama, Sanggunian presiding officer, who also comes from the south district, in the Wednesday, April 28, regular session, blasted the N. Bacalso Ave. tunnel project as stupid because, he said, there was no need for it as there was no traffic problem or drainage problem before the underpass was built.
