PASIG CITY, Feb. 18 (PIA) -- The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) Joint Task Force National Capital Region (JTF NCR) has pledged all-out support for the implementation of development projects in Metro Manila, according to its chief BGen. Marceliano V. Teofilo
Teofilo made the assurance after the JTF NCR provided support security and augmentation leading to the ceremonial launch of the Marikina River Rehabilitation Program in Marikina City on Wednesday, Feb. 17.
"This project only shows how sincere our government in elevating the standards of safety and security in the community," the offical said.
"Furthermore, it exhibits the whole-of-government effort in this undertaking. The JTF NCR, AFP will continue to work hand in hand with other member-agencies to contribute human power, equipment, and resources to support the Marikina River Rehabilitation Program," he added.
The Task Force Build Back Better (TF BBB) spearheaded the launching of the Marikina River Rehabilitation Program, to include bamboo planting, recovery of river easement, and initial dredging, for Marikina River to underscore the government’s effort in addressing the perennial flooding of communities in the area.
The AFP, for its part, in coordination with the Department of Public Works and Highways, will augment available Engineer Units and equipment to assist in the river recovery activities.
The project launch was also graced by Brigadier General Gabriel C Viray III, the Acting Deputy Chief of Staff for Civil Military Operations (J7) of the AFP, who also expressed enthusiasm about the Marikina River Rehabilitation Program.
To recall, the inter-agency project could significantly reduce flooding in low lying areas of Marikina City, Pasig City and Rizal Province.
The widening of Marikina River to its original width is only the start of a series of activities the TF BBB has identified to address the perennial problem of flooding within the Marikina River Basin.
The restored riverbanks are also being planted with bamboo to help prevent riverbank erosion and siltation. (PIA NCR)
