Meeting and Field Visit for the Current Meter Installation at Barangay Songcolan 🌊

A productive meeting at the Municipal Mayors Office with JICA, DPWH Region 6, PLGU, LGU Batan, and various stakeholders for the installation of a current meter.

The activity forms part of the ongoing efforts to the installation on August 27, 2026 for the testing and monitoring of sediment flow and coastal processes in the area. The data gathered through the current meter will provide valuable information in understanding water movement and sediment transport, supporting the construction of seawall Phase II at Barangay Songcolan.

We sincerely appreciate the cooperation and active participation of all agencies, local government units, partners, and stakeholders who contributed to the successful conduct of the activity.
