BAYOMBONG, Nueva Vizcaya: The Casecnan Multi-Purpose Irrigation and Power Project in Alfonso Castañeda town here may suffer more damage if Bugkalot protesters continue to block a South Korean company contracted to manage and operate the CMIPP, according to government authorities.

In his letter to Gov. Carlos Padilla, Lt. Col. Gil Ileto, Philippine Army's 84th Infantry Batallion commanding officer based in San Jose City, Nueva Ecija, said the CMIPP's intake weir (small dam) sustained damage from overtopping and overflow of water and debris.
