Mayor Charito Navarossa of Libacao, Aklan cautions his towns people to ready themselves for another re-run scenario like that of Frank's as more mud can possibly come during heavy rains and flash-floods.
The Mayor said that their assessment report conducted within their municipalities showed that the mud that settled in Kalibo came from multiple landslides in the Mountain Ranges of Panay that borders Iloilo, Aklan, Antique and Capiz. He also mentioned that the mud that was eroded towards Kalibo is just about 8% of the total mud in the mountain ranges.
Kalibo Mayor Raymar Rebaldo urgetly proposed the need of the municipality to construct a flood control project and excavation of basins in the Aklan River. The flow of the river after the super typhoon was altered hence the Sanguniang Bayan of Kalibo sought the assistance of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) in the strict implementation of quarrying policies in the municipality.
