Kalibo Mayor Raymar Rebaldo hopes to build a flood control dam at the Aklan River to minimize the effects of heavy flooding. He urges the national government to hasten its construction. According to him, the Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA) will help in the construction of the proposed project, headed by Aldo Mayor. The department will also help in the cleaning and enhancement of the town's drainage system.
The poposed project is expected to benefit the people living in the towns of Banga, Kalibo, and Numancia. Since the flood waters ravaged several barangays of Kalibo, namely Tinigaw, Mobo, Bakhaw Sur, Bakhaw Norte and the town proper, the project is expected to be completed before the start of the rainy season to avoid another flash flood. It was noted that the flood claimed the lives of 5 poeple and injured more than 100.
