Bulacan Governor Daniel R. Fernando called on the operators and the agencies involved in the releasing of water from the Angat, Ipo, and Bustos Dams to thoroughly study their protocols on water release and be considerate of the people that are directly affected by their decision.
“Marami ang nasirang bahay, nawala ang ari-arian, nawala ang mga gamit. Although nagbibigay naman kayo ng alarma, but in my opinion and in my observation, it was not sufficient, it was not enough,” the governor said. The governor pointed out that on Jan. 4, the Angat Dam reached its spilling level which is 212 meters but no release was made even though based on the forecasts of the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration , rains will still be heavy on that day.
National Power Corporation Department Manager Conrado G. Sison, Jr. explained that since it is a non-flood season, they have to store water so that when the dry season comes, there will be enough water to use.
