en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Philippine Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) is accelerating and continuously advancing the desilting and widening of drainage canals and waterways nationwide as part of the Anti-Flood Plan (Oplan Kontra Baha, OKB), in preparation for the expected rainy season next month.

Transportation Secretary Vince Dizon stated that OKB operations in low-lying and flood-prone areas will continue to ensure smooth water flow and reduce severe flooding that affects many regions during the rainy season.

Key areas under OKB include Metro Manila, Ilocos Region, Cagayan Valley, Tarlac, and Naga City, as well as parts of Visayas and Mindanao such as Cebu, Iloilo, Bacolod, Cagayan de Oro, and Maguindanao, which are frequently affected by widespread flooding each year.

OKB is a project of the Marcos administration aimed at reducing severe flooding during the rainy season.
