THE Philippine Bamboo Industry Development Council (PBIDC) is proposing to replicate nationwide the 20-hectare Karugo and 10-hectare Puray bamboo projects in the Marikina watershed that give livelihood to tribes and help prevent Metro Manila flooding.

The Karugo and Puray bamboo projects in Montalban, Rizal are an ideal multiagency collaboration that involves minimal budget, PBIDC Vice Chairman Deogracias Victor Savellano says.
