Vice Governor Dennis “Delta” Pineda over the weekend led the inspection and assessment of damaged flood control structures, including check gates and bridges, in the towns of Minalin, Santo Tomas and other adjacent areas. During the inspection, the vice governor's group discovered some illegal structures in the river, including fish pens, according to a Facebook post of the Pampanga Public Information Office (Pampanga PIO). The encroachments allegedly impede the flow of water coming from the Porac-Gumain River.
