Belmonte says most DPWH projects in Quezon City skipped local government

MANILA — Quezon City Mayor Joy Belmonte reminded national agencies and contractors to strictly coordinate with the local government before implementing flood control projects in the city, in line with Ordinance No. SP-2939, S-2020.
The ordinance requires all national agencies and government-owned corporations to consult the local government before starting any project in Quezon City, to strengthen cooperation, avoid duplication, and ensure alignment with the city’s development and drainage master plans.

“Sometimes projects overlap, sometimes they’re not even necessary, and sometimes they conflict with our existing development plans,” she said, adding that she has asked congressmen to follow the city’s plans when lobbying for national funds.

To address this, the QC government launched an online survey encouraging residents to report flood control projects in their areas and provide feedback on their effectiveness.

“Nag-post po kami ng panawagan sa mga residente ng Lungsod Quezon na bigyan kami ng impormasyon tungkol sa mga programa laban sa baha na alam nila sa kanilang mga komunidad, at magbigay ng feedback kung epektibo ba ang mga ito,” Belmonte explained.

One example is the Matalahib Creek project, which the city ordered suspended because of structures built directly over the creek, obstructing water flow. DPWH has reportedly spent ₱90 million on the project, with an additional ₱250 million allocated for completion by July 2026.

But residents continue to complain of flooding.
Barangay Masambong residents noted that an anti-flood project in their area, started in 2017, remains unfinished.
“Sana kung may plano, dapat bago maghukay… dapat in-expect na yan,” Barangay Chairman Rocky Alfa said.

Belmonte said the city will continue to monitor whether projects are finished, effective, or in need of adjustments, and will coordinate closely with DPWH.
