Acting Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) general manager Baltazar Melgar traced Tuesday the flooding experienced in Manila the past weekend on an ongoing drainage project related to the Dolomite Beach attraction along Manila Bay. According to Melgar, the heavy rains on Friday partly caused the flooding of Manila streets because three drainage systems had been closed to make way for the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) project.
