METROPOLITAN Manila Development Authority (MMDA) Chairman Romando Artes told lawmakers at the House of Representatives on Wednesday that garbage that clogged waterways worsened the floodings that hit Metro Manila last week.

'These are the ones contributing [to the flooding] as it slows the pumping of water to the pumping stations and clogs up waterways that remove floods faster,' Artes said.
