DPWH eyes flood tank under UST football field

MANILA, Philippines - The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) is reportedly mulling the possibility of building a retention tank beneath the football field of the University of Sto. Tomas (UST) in an attempt to solve the perennial flooding along España Boulevard in Manila.
“There is a proposal to install a retention tank so in the event that there would be heavy rains, the floodwater would be stored in this tank and not flood the streets. Once the rain stops, the floodwater inside the tank would be pumped out,” DPWH-National Capital Region (NCR) director Reynaldo Tagudando said.
He added that they proposed the project to the school officials two weeks ago and UST officials said they have already referred the matter to their legal office.
According to the DPWH, floods along España Boulevard usually reach depths of 20 to 30 centimeters.
Apart from alleviating the flood problem in the area, Tagudando said they chose UST as a site for the project because they believe that “it is feasible.”
He also assured that digging will not destroy the football grounds. “If UST approves of the project, we would fix the football field in such a way that they would still be able to use the field for their school activities,” Tagudando said.
The project, the DPWH-NCR chief added, is still in its preliminary stage – the agency’s Bureau of Design is still conducting research and planning to determine how deep they need to dig for the retention tank and if they would use the entire football field.
He said if UST agrees, they can start the project by next year.

Metro Manila is singking :D
Dr. Fernando Siringan of the UP Marine Science Institute made the revelation when he explained why there was massive flooding in Metro Manila in recent weeks even in the absence of a typhoon.
“Ang isang major point is lumulubog ang lupa sa Malabon at hindi lang Malabon. Actually, the entire Metro Manila is sinking. And we said you’ll have to consider that it’s sinking and not slowly, it’s sinking at several centimeters per year,” Siringan told the Senate committee on climate change.
He said that Malabon is “sinking” by several centimeters every year and the sea level is “rising because of global warming by almost one centimeter per year.”
