THE METROPOLITAN MANILA Development Authority (MMDA) inspects the Tripa de Gallina Pumping Station in Pasay City. It is the largest pumping station in the National Capital Region. The move, according to MMDA Chairman Don Artes, is to ensure the unhampered operations of Tripa de Gallina Pumping Station in view of the inclement weather, as the President ordered concerned government agencies to implement proactive measures and ensure complete readiness as many communities are dealing with the effects of southwest monsoon or habagat. In the visit, the MMDA witnessed heavy loads of garbage that are sucked into the pump. These get coiled in the engine, resulting in overheating and eventual damage. Artes also noted the NCR’s outdated drainage system as part of the problem, assuring that all 71 pumping stations are working at full capacity.
