The closed drainage outfall was suddenly opened last Thursday (Nov. 6) by the City Engineer’s Office crew regardless of the absence of an official clearance from Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR). The said drainage was purposely closed due to the existence of some illegally tapped sewerage connections.
Gov. Erico Aumentado who was in the midst of negotiations regarding the drainage controversy was shocked upon learning on the city hall’s decision to open the drainage outfall even as no coordination meeting has been called since the time he had a one-on-one talk with the city mayor. The governor was informed by PENRO Nestor Canda when he checked the situation on the drainage outfall opening while he was in Manila last Thursday.
City Consultant, Engr. Cecil Corloncito who arrived from Australia supervised the opening of the outfall last Thursday while claiming that a laboratory test showed the water content to be safe for release to the seawaters. However, said lab test was not acceptable to DENR since only results from accredited laboratories are being accepted.

SUBLI nga gipasabot sa Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) ang ka-importante sa pasilidad sa drainage alang sa kadalanan aron dili kini dali nga mangaguba.
Kini usab samtang gisabutan na usab sa mga opisyal sa Bohol ug Tagbilaran ang solbad sa suliran nga makadaut hinuon sa bag-ong gisementong Carlos P. Garcia Avenue sa syudad.
Kasamtangang nag-antos sa pagbaha ug paglunop ang mga moagi ug namuyo sa CPG North bisan pag may tukmang drainage na nga napahimutang dinhi.
Ang lunop dala sa dili makagawas ang tubig binanlas sa uwan kay sirado pa ang gawasanan nga kanal niini. Sirado pa usab ang kanal awasanan niini kay wala itugot nga ihagbong lakip sa uwan ang hugaw nga gipa-agas sa kanal.
Gihimo na nga palisiya ni DPWH Sec. Hermogenes Ebdane ang pagpahimutang ug apil sa kanal sa foreign-assisted road projects. Gusto niya nga may tukmang line canals ug cross drains subay sa himoong mga nasudnong dalan sa nasud.
Ang kanal magtabang pagpahubas sa tubig aron dili makapahumok sa dalan hangyud kini dali madaut. (rachiu/PIA)
