[Title] => P41-M more okayed for flood control projects in Pampanga
[Summary] => LUBAO, Pampanga — The national government has set aside an additional P41 million for flood control projects in Pampanga, Vice Gov. Juan Miguel "Mikey" Arroyo said yesterday.
In a statement, Arroyo said the additional budget is an indication of the strong desire of the administration of President Arroyo to once and for all solve the perennial floodings in Pampanga in order to speed up its growth and development.
Earlier, the national government had allocated more than P600 million for major flood control projects in Pampanga.

[Title] => Despite costly dredgings, P’panga towns flooded anew
[Summary] => GUAGUA, Pampanga — Just a few weeks after President Arroyo visited this town to commend the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) for its dredging of the Guagua-Pasac River, residents of 20 barangays here found themselves dealing with rising floodwaters in the aftermath of typhoon "Harurot."
Loida Samonte, of the municipal disaster coordinating council, said floodwaters are about a few inches to two feet deep. Flooding in the town proper may reach one foot.
But Samonte reported no flood-related casualties or infrastructure damage.

[Title] => These Sasmuan island villages are sinking!
[Summary] => SASMUAN, Pampanga — What do you do when the ground beneath your feet is sinking - literally?
This is the problem facing 25,000 residents of five island-barangays in this fifth-class municipality, their land being eroded into the sea and sinking at, what authorities believe, such an alarming rate.
"It’s a serious problem. For the island residents, their homes are all they have and they have nowhere else to go," said Sasmuan Mayor Catalina Bagasina.
The five barangays are Batang I and II, Mabuanbuan, Sebitanan and Malusac.

CITY OF SAN FERNANDO, Pampanga — Unless clogged local waterways are dredged, flooding in 77 barangays in the province’s 10 towns will remain until December, the provincial disaster coordinating council (PDCC) said yesterday.

[Title] => Flooding worsens in 49 Pampanga barangays
[Summary] => GUAGUA, Pampanga — Floodwaters which have submerged 49 barangays in six Pampanga towns for a month now, swelled to one to five feet deep following heavy rains the other day.
The flow of the floodwaters to Manila Bay, however, has been impeded by fishponds which small fishermen have built on the banks and even in the middle of the Guagua-Pasac River.
Fifteen of the flooded barangays are in Minalin, 13 in Macabebe, seven in Sto. Tomas, 10 in San Fernando, three in Apalit, and one in Masantol.
