This damaged section of the flood control dike alonng the river of Matina Gravahan collapsed in February 2024, just two months after it was completed. It was in February 2024, when the flood-control dike constructed along the community of Matina Gravahan partially collapsed when logs brought by floodwaters rammed into it. The dike, completed in December 2023 at a cost of ?84 million, was supposed to shield hundreds of residents from rising waters, but residents saw how it crumpled from that incident. Evidence of substandard work and contractors cutting corners were exposed when the dike collapsed. “Wala may action, dapat naa silay action para sa katawhan (There is no action; they should take action for the people),” Elisa said.
