Governor Lilia Pineda has called for the immediate dredging project along the Pampanga River ahead of the coming rainy season.
The move is expected to mitigate persistent flooding in low-lying communities.
The governor led an inter-agency meeting with officials of the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH), the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), and other concerned agencies to discuss the feasibility and urgency of the dredging activities.
