CITY OF MALOLOS, Bulacan — President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has tagged as priority the construction of water impounding facilities in Region 3 (Central Luzon) as a long-term solution to its flooding problems.

Marcos issued the directive after many provinces in the region were submerged in flood following the onslaught of Super Typhoon 'Carina' and the southwest monsoon.
