+ February 11, 2021 EB MAGALONA Mayor Marvin Malacon on Thursday, February 11, 2021, said the claims of environmental groups that dredging activities in the town will threaten livelihood are “baseless.”
Green Alert, who are opposing the project, claimed that the activity will threaten the blue crab industry of the town.
Malacon on Thursday said the project, which was approved first by the national government and passed on to local government units, aims to unclog and desilt the river mouths of town major rivers that caused flooding for years.

+ February 05, 2021 NEGROS Occidental Governor Eugenio Jose Lacson on Friday, February 5, 2021, said the dredging of heavily silted rivers in EB Magalona that cause flooding in the town and other neighboring local government units may start soon and will be undertaken by a private firm at no cost to the province.
Lacson, who presided over the inter-agency committee meeting Friday at the Provincial Capitol, said the provincial government is not spending any amount for the dredging operations of First Terradev Corp. in EB Magalona as soon as they comply with all the permits required.
Up for declogging and desiltation in EB Magalona are the rivers of Malogo, Imbang and Madalag.
