00:12 I'm here in Spain, in Manila, where the drainage is being fixed.

00:24 This is part of the government's preparation for the rainy season and the experience of flooding in Manila.

00:32 Some backhoes are installed to increase the capacity of the drainage

00:38 that will be connected to the water that will be poured by the rain.

00:41 According to MMDA Acting Chairman Don Artes,

00:45 the flooding in the Spanish Boulevard is expected to be reduced

00:49 due to the Sunug-Apog Pumping Station that is currently being built in Cabaan, San Diego Street.

00:54 Three pumping stations were built and are expected to be built

00:59 to address the problem of flooding in Cabaan, TAF Avenue, UN Avenue and Malates in Manila.

01:11 to open the floodgates of the sewerage treatment plant in Manila Bay

01:19 DPWH also plans to build four pumping stations in Tatalon, Doña Imelda and two in Rojas District

01:27 to address the flooding in Cabaan, Araneta Avenue, in Quezon City.
