President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. says the national government is planning to build a 70-meter dam along Cebu’s Mananga River to reduce flooding in nearby areas. Marcos makes the announcement while inspecting ongoing rehabilitation works along the river in Barangay San Isidro, Talisay City. Local communities are still recovering from floods associated with Typhoon Tino, which struck in November 2025. One report says the dam is included in the proposed 2027 National Expenditure Program (NEP), with Marcos stating that the government already has a plan to place the dam upstream. The dam is described as being located along the Mananga River, with the intended purpose of mitigating flooding risks for surrounding communities. The announcements focus on the planned infrastructure project and its placement upstream, rather than providing additional technical details or timelines beyond the budgeting reference.
