Project Details: Located in the tropical climate zone, the Philippines is hit by typhoons that are born in the Pacific Ocean annually. In addition, Iloilo City and its outlying areas, stretching over low and flat land, are vulnerable to large-scale flooding and mudslide disasters frequently during the rainy season. Every year, the flooding problem in Iloilo causes millions of pesos in damages and unfavorable investment competitiveness.

The Iloilo Flood Control Project is the long-term solution to the perennial flooding in the city and outlying areas. It also aims to improve living environments and sanitary conditions of local residents, and consequently help develop the regional economy, by setting in place disaster prevention civil works in the state of Iloilo on Panay Island. With a budget of P4.3B, it is the largest infrastructure investment Iloilo City has ever received. The project is due for completion in 2009
