Government inaction Mayor Jefferson Khonghun of Subic, Zambales has good reason to blame the National Government for its failure to dredge the Calaklan River, causing 18 casualties. Malacañang and Secretary Rogelio Singson gave the excuse that the dredging was stopped because of lack of spare parts for a stalled dredger. But Mayor Khonghun correctly argued the non-repair of the stalled dredger for one year is not acceptable. He said that a private dredging contractor should have been hired. The same problem is true of the stalled dredging of the Pampanga River and the cancellation of the dredging of Laguna De Bay.
