MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Remember when former President Noynoy Aquino promised that he was ready to be run over by a train if the Light Rail Transit (LRT) Line 1 project from Baclaran to Bacoor will not be completed in two years? The rest is history. The project wasn’t completed on time but PNoy didn’t have himself run over by a train.

Well, history repeats itself.

Engineer Mikunug Macud, Department of Public Works and Highways National Capital Region South Manila district engineer, recently said the target of the DPWH and the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) is to have zero-flooding in Metro Manila by the year 2030.

The DPWH official said that if his promise is not fulfilled by 2030, he will drown himself in flood waters.

Deal!
