MANILA, Philippines — The League of Cities of the Philippines (LCP) expressed support for President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s call for transparency and accountability in flood control projects, on Friday.
The group, led by San Juan City Mayor Francis Zamora, said city mayors backed a full government accounting and performance review of flood mitigation programs.
“We, city mayors, have witnessed firsthand these alarming events that cause our constituents to suffer—from loss of life and livelihood to disruptions in children’s education, as well as increased health risks such as leptospirosis brought about by unmitigated flooding,” the LCP said.
“We commend the President’s directives and express our full support for the ongoing investigation into alleged anomalies,” it added., This news data comes from:http://yamato-syokunin.com
