CABANATUAN CITY – Rains brought by Typhoon Fabian and the southwest monsoon in the last few days have boosted the water reserve in Pantabangan Dam.
Engr. Rosalinda Bote, department manager of the National Irrigation Administration-Upper Pampanga River Integrated Irrigation System, said it gave them opportunity to fill up the the reservoir.
“Malaking bagay ang pag-uulan, time para maka- fill-up kami at the same time ay hindi din kami magre-release,” Bote said.
