The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) is tapping two companies to undertake the massive rehabilitation of the Cagayan River, the country’s largest river. In a news statement, the DENR announced that Cagayan Valley Regional Executive Director Gwendolyn C. Bambalan and Great River North Consortium Managing Head Antonio Talaue, and President Feng Li of Riverfront Construction Inc. recently signed the Cagayan River Restoration Project. To recall, in 2017, President Duterte directed the dredging of heavily silted rivers in the Philippines, including the Cagayan River, the country’s longest and biggest river.
