NIA eyes start of Panay River basin project

ILOILO CITY — The National Irrigation Administration (NIA) is hoping to start construction of the P20.7-billion Panay River Basin Integrated Development Project in Capiz in 2026, or even earlier, if the agency can secure savings in 2025.

NIA Administrator Eduardo Guillen said they would already start acquiring the right-of-way and the necessary permits next year.
