Parañaque spillway eyed to solve Metro flooding

THE government revived the planned Parañaque Spillway Project (PSP) in a bid to protect low-lying communities in Metro Manila and nearby provinces from massive flooding.

Public Works and Highways Secretary Manuel Bonoan said on Tuesday that the government sought the support of the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) to finance the ambitious project, which was first eyed for implementation during the Arroyo administration following the onslaught of Typhoon "Ondoy" that inundated Metro Manila.
