Houses located on banks of 5 Davao City rivers to be demolished

Mayor Sara Duterte (Facebook / MANILA BULLETIN)
Duterte said the local government has decided to prohibit residential structures along the banks of Davao River, Lipadas River, Lasang River, Matina Pangi River, and Talomo River due to the constant threat posed each time these waterways swell. 
 “We want to protect human lives from any incident along the rivers,” she said in her interview over Davao City Disaster Radio (DCDR 87.5). 
She said that several residents in the city’s riverside communities have voluntarily demolished their houses after they were informed by local government of the risks.
“Several Dabawenyos readily accepted the explanation of our team on our basis why it is prohibited, what is the possible impact if anything happens to the rivers. Many of them readily demolished their structures, although there are few who resisted. So, we have to demolish their structures,” she said.
