Here are some updates on the Iloilo Flood Control Project:
Construction of the 4.75km Jaro Floodway, which will provide a channel from the floodplains of Pavia-Jaro to the Iloilo Strait.
Temporary detour road in McArthur Highway, Jaro, in front of Jaro Grand Estates. Future site of a new bridge crossing the Jaro Floodway
Construction of approaches of Carpenters Bridge in Brgy. Tabucan, Mandurriao

Palagas ko pa, daw ma ORMOC kita haw? That’s great! We will have more Americans and Foreign aid visiting us to give donations of rice water and pittance. Wow! We shall be famous! The world over.
We shall outdo ORMOC. More deaths and casualties without landslides pa yan ha!
Apparently the flood control project is an enormous wastage of scarce financial resources and a vain hope for Ilonggos. We don’t need to build rivers where there are none while we encroach in the pathway of waterways, rivers and streams, filling it up with malls, buildings, subdivisions, night spots. When you go against nature,you are doomed. There will be more storms, typhoons, floods and deaths coming. You shall be the next casualty. Inom ka na beer. Sa langit wala beer. Sa impyerno wala beer. Gasolina gadaba daba.seriously, each and every Ilonggo should band together to reforest the Mountain Ranges of Panay which is our rooftop. When it rains the gutter drains to our surrounding cities. The land area of the Mountain Ranges is far wider than the land areas of the lowlands. With no forest cover to act as absorbent cotton to the torrents of rains, water seeks its own level at the lowlands in a violent gush of flash floods which we recently encountered. Spend the money on sustainable and intensive reforestation. No corruption please. Congressmen and Mayors and politicos, corrupt or non-corrupt alike can’t escape judgement day of Apo Madjaas. Repent or you will be doomed and tortured by Neptunic wrath. Each Panayanon should plant every year of his remaining life and nurture to surival an equivalent of 5,000 trees yearly. The time to start is NOW! Agad agad! Insigida. Ara dayun! Ga gal-um naman kalibutan. Baha gapaabut naman. Ambut sa imu kun balingag ka ya te mirisisimus maximus.
I just hope that the project will be completed at the exact time and date as stated. Bal-an mo naman kita nga mga pinoys “madrama” guid. But since the internet is worldwide, ang tanan nga mga Ilonggo living abroad ma tribukaho guid kon palpak naman. Thanks. : )
[re=60343]ray[/re]: the project would be completed on 2009, we still dont dont know if there will be no delay, then it would be put to work, then evaluated if there are problems. so dont expect that an on going project would solve the problem right away. even the technology from industrialized countries could also fail.
[re=59861]Iloilo Projects and Contructions May 2008 Update | Explore Iloilo[/re]: chy….really dont know how will this project works kag kon san-o ini ang target completion date….kahapon (May 13th) grabe man gyapon baha sa Jaro…(particularly sa may Sambag & San Isidro area). daw dagat lang O!…
Thanks!
[re=57873]romel[/re]: That would be interesting Romel :) But I have no idea who names these bridges or how carpenters and forbes got theirs.
@chymera: Why are the bridges named Forbes and Carpenter? We should name these structures after Ilonggos or after endangered Panay-Island endemics such as the Panay cloudrunner, Writhe-billed Hornbill, etc. (like here in Miami, they have the Dolphin Expressway, Sawgrass Expressway). This would help in the awareness of our heritage (endemic species, local heroes). Anyway thank you for what you are doing in promoting our Iloilo. I’m a longtime reader and fan of yours.
I think it is the hardest task for them to do. Paano nila dakpon kung sila katulad man sa gina dakop nila? di bala?
