President Marcos Orders Revival of Las Piñas Spillway
During his on-site inspection in Las Piñas City with the presence of Mayor April Aguilar, Congressman Mark Santos and Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Secretary Vince Dizon, President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos, Jr., ordered the revival of the Las Piñas Spillway which still remains incomplete for over a decade now, according to a news report by the Manila Standard.
To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the Manila Standard news report. Some parts in boldface…
President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. on Tuesday ordered the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) to revive and complete a long-delayed spillway in Las Piñas City, saying the project could significantly improve Metro Manila’s ability to drain floodwaters.
President Marcos issued the directive during an inspection of a high-vacuum self-priming drainage trailer pump at Alido Bridge in Barangay Zapote, as he assessed the effects of heavy rains that recently caused flooding in parts of the capital.
He said the Las Piñas spillway had been in the works for more than a decade but was never completed, and should now be revisited as part of the government’s broader flood-control strategy.
“Speaking of spillway, we really need to finish the spillway here in Las Piñas so there will be an outlet for the water, and that plan has been stalled for a long time,” the President told reporters.
Mr. Marcos said he had instructed DPWH Secretary Vince Dizon to review the existing plans, determine whether modifications were needed and move ahead with the project.
“Whatever needs to be done, we have to finish it,” the Chief Executive emphasized.
President Marcos described the spillway as a potentially significant component of flood-control efforts in the National Capital Region. He also credited renewed dredging activities with helping reduce the severity of recent flooding in Las Piñas.
Mr. Marcos said flooding that previously reached chest level was now below the knees in the area he inspected, while water was also receding faster because drainage channels had been cleared.
The President said the government had resumed dredging after a 12-year moratorium, which he said had contributed to rivers and spillways becoming increasingly shallow.
He said dredging would continue without interruption and would be carried out in coordination with local government units.
President Marcos also blamed garbage buildup in drainage channels for worsening flooding, particularly in Parañaque, saying some of the debris had been carried in from other areas and became trapped when high tide coincided with the opening of drainage channels.
He urged local governments and residents to improve waste disposal practices, warning that improperly discarded garbage could obstruct waterways and compound flooding.
Let me end this piece by asking you readers: If you are a resident of Las Piñas City, what is your reaction to this development? Do you think the spillway in the city will somehow get completed during the remaining term of President Marcos? Are you hopeful the DPWH will get the job done?

Flood-prone Areas Of Parañaque City Inspected By DPWH Secretary
Remember how terrible flooding was in Parañaque City last year? A lot of locals do not want such cases of flood to happen again and already there are those who said that Parañaque should be renamed as Baharañaque. In a serious attempt to prepare the city for the incoming rainy season, Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Secretary Vince Dizon personally inspected the flood-prone areas of the city and he was accompanied by 2nd District Representative Brian Yamsuan, according to a news report by The Daily Tribune.
To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the news report of The Daily Tribune. Some parts in boldface…
The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) is partnering with local lawmakers to fast-track long-term drainage upgrades and dredging operations along critical creeks to resolve severe flooding that frequently paralyzes major thoroughfares in the city.
DPWH Secretary Vince Dizon and Parañaque Representative Brian Yamsuan on Monday conducted a joint inspection of flood-prone areas, specifically targeting Dr. A. Santos Avenue in front of the Manila Memorial Park.
During heavy downpours, floodwaters in the area can rise up to four meters high, blocking access to the Skyway and the South Luzon Expressway, which triggers massive traffic gridlock.
Dizon said a key immediate solution is to dredge Villanueva Creek, which runs inside the cemetery, to allow floodwaters to flow freely into (Don Galo) Creek. Dongalo Creek will also undergo extensive dredging to clear accumulated garbage and silt.
The broader infrastructure plan includes a major overhaul of the Parañaque drainage system, which will replace old, narrowed concrete pipes with high-capacity drainage lines.
Officials cited during the inspection that uneven road elevation along Dr. A. Santos Avenue — formerly known as Sucat Road — compounds the problem. Low-lying sections of the highway trap rainwater, while clogged roadside canals slow down the rate at which the water recedes.
Dizon and Yamsuan also inspected the (Don Galo) River, another source of flooding that sends water rushing four to five feet high into nearby residential areas, severely affecting Barangay Santo Niño, Moonwalk Subdivision, and portions of Multinational Village.
As a quick-fix solution before the onset of the rainy season, Dizon recommended constructing temporary water detention basins beneath local basketball courts to contain excess runoff before pumping it out toward waterways leading to Manila Bay.
Let me end this post by asking you readers: What do you think about this recent development? If you are a resident of Parañaque, were you or your neighbors badly affected by the flood that happened in the city in 2025? Do you think flooding in Parañaque has worsened over the past ten years? Do you wish the City Government officials would do much more to prevent flooding from happening again?
