PRESIDENT Ferdinand Marcos Jr. ordered the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) on Saturday to revisit the Bicol River Basin Development Program (BRBDP) as a critical flood control measure for the Bicol Region following severe flooding caused by Severe Tropical Storm Kristine (international name: Trami).
In a situation briefing in Naga City, Camarines Sur, Marcos directed Public Works Secretary Manuel Bonoan to reevaluate the BRBDP, noting that such a program could address recurring flooding in the region.
