Excerpt

The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) will start tomorrow the dredging of sandbars on a narrow section of the 94-kilometer Bicol River, DENR Secretary and Task Force Build Back Better (TF BBB) Chairman Roy A. Cimatu said yesterday. "TF BBB's rehabilitation efforts on the Bicol River completes the triumvirate targets to which we have committed ourselves to complete within the term of President Rodrigo Roa Duterte for Cagayan River, Marikina River, and Bicol River," he noted. The Bicol River is the eighth largest river in the country in terms of drainage basin size. It encompasses 90 percent of Camarines Sur and Albay while the rest lies in Camarines Norte.
