Dizon urges incoming DPWH chief to prioritize Bulacan flood control

Former Public Works and Highways Secretary Vince Dizon on Tuesday urged incoming Secretary Giovanni Lopez to maintain close oversight of flood control projects and infrastructure developments in Bulacan during the turnover of the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH). At the handover ceremony, Dizon highlighted the critical importance of monitoring progress on various flood mitigation initiatives across the province. The transfer of leadership underscores the government's commitment to maintaining continuity in addressing infrastructure challenges that affect communities across the country. Dizon presented details on several incomplete flood control and related public works projects requiring immediate attention from the incoming administration. Lopez's appointment represents a significant transition in leadership at the DPWH, which oversees major infrastructure development and disaster risk reduction programs nationwide. The emphasis on Bulacan reflects ongoing concerns about flooding vulnerability in the province, which has experienced significant inundation during typhoon and monsoon seasons in recent years.
